1445505 - Autocorrect will never correct "Im" to "I'm". It just shows a red squiggle of wrong and pretends there is no known way on earth to fix it.

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:58.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/58.0
Build ID: 20180206200532

Steps to reproduce:

Type "Im" into any text box on the internet. 

This also technically occurs on chrome so I suspect it is whatever auto correct library used.


Actual results:

Get a red squiggle, no correction suggestions.


Expected results:

"I'm"

I have tested this report on latest Nightly and Firefox release builds. When I type "Im" in any text box and right click on it, I can see suggestions where one of them is the correct "I'm". If I choose it, the browser replace the wrong one with the correct one. 

Could you confirm whether or not you can see any suggestion when you right click on the reg squiggle?

Also please check if "Check your spelling as you type" checkbox is marked in about:preferences#general?

Strange. I can't reproduce the results again. Closing.
