For example if the word "didn't" is typed, Firefox will highlight "didn" and say it is not in the dictionary. The "t" will be regarded as a separate word. This does not happen when layout.spellcheckDefault is set to 1. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. In about:config, set layout.spellcheckDefault to 2 2. In any text field, type in words with apostrophes 3. The word will not be in the dictionary Actual Results: For example if the word "didn't" is typed, Firefox will highlight "didn" and say it is not in the dictionary. The "t" will be regarded as a separate word. Expected Results: A word with an apostrophe should be spellchecked properly
One other thing, when enter is pressed and a new line is invoked, the word is un-highlighted, but if you remain on the same line without pressing enter - it will remain underlined. This happened in a textbox using moodle (a php course management system).

I can confirm this bug in several Mozilla applications on Windows Vista Home Premium. I've tested: Firefox 3.0.3 Seamonkey 2.0a1 Thunderbird 3.0a3 both with Italian and English dictionary. Previous applications based on the Myspell component like Thunderbird 2.0.17 are OK, while the new ones based on Huspell have this issue. However, in my case setting layout.spellcheckDefault to 1 doesn't resolve anything.
