138025 - textarea spellchecker

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 16409

(SeaMonkey :: General, enhancement)

Description

[Scott]

Just an idea for some future version of Mozilla: a spellchecking feature for
textareas.  I don't know about anyone else, but I write a lot of stuff in these
little boxes, and it would be convenient to be able to spell check the area
without cutting and pasting the entire thing into a word processor.

Obviously, this requires that a spellchecker be incorporated into Mozilla, so it
probably depends on that bug, wherever it is.

Also, I know ya'll are probably overwhelmed with bugs coming up to 1.0, so toss
this in the "maybe someday" bin.  Just wanted to get the idea out there.  :)

I believe this can be explained by

(I'm using 'explained' in the loosest sense of the word here.)

May as well verify the dup while I'm here.
