6547 - RFE: Spellchecker ReplaceAll needs case insensitive matching

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core :: DOM: Editor, defect, P3)

Description

[kinmoz]

The spellchecker only replaces words that match in both spelling and case. It
should do case insensitive matching. For example, if I wanted to replace all
occurrences of "ths" with "this", all occurrences of "Ths" will be ignored and
not replaced.

Changed milestone to M8, when I will revisit TextServices and Spellchecker
issues.

Comment 2

[kinmoz]

Changing milestone to M9 since I don't have time to look at spellchecker
issues yet.

Comment 3

[Kathleen :Brade]

I don't think it should do this--at least not by default.  4.x does not have that
functionality.

Comment 4

[kinmoz]

Moving all spellchecker/text services related bugs to M11 since I will still be
working on AutoComplete features through M10.

Comment 5

[kinmoz]

Moving some SpellChecker/TextServices feature requests and bugs, that can wait
till after beta 1, to milestone M14.

There's not much point in this being Help Wanted - unless you want to open 
source the spell checker :-)

Sorry, I'm going to call this one invalid.

I checked Lotus Notes, Lotus WordPro, and even Microsoft Word.

Noone does this.

This is not expected behavior.

In the interest of truth and accuracy, MS Word's ReplaceAll is, by default, case
insensitive and offers a "Match case" switch in the expanding dialogue accessed
by the "More" button.
