1450521 - spell checker needs to be cycled on/off to find new spelling errors

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Spelling checker, defect, P3)

Description

[Eric Benton]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:59.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/59.0
Build ID: 20180323154952

Steps to reproduce:

Firefox 59.0.2 
OpenSuse 42.3 (64 bit)
4.13 kernel 
KDE 5.32.0   Plasma 5.8.7   Qt  5.6.2
Intel 6C/HT CPU,  32 gig memory -  light memory and cpu loads
When inputting/editing text in a comment (Disqus for example) section the spell checker (which is enabled) will show some spelling errors  but when you correct one error, it then refuses to see any new spelling errors until you disable/enable spell checking once again. This has been going on a long time over many versions of firefox (Linux) and I finally got fed up enough to report it
