Steps to reproduce:

Typed Munchausen in a textbox.

Actual results:

Dictionary showed Munchausen with red lines and offered Munchhausen and Münchhausen as alternatives.

Expected results:

Nothing.

Component: Untriaged → Spelling checker
Product: Firefox → Core

Looks like hunspell dictionary issue in general, since LibreOffice gives the same result, and Chrome.

Severity: -- → S3
Priority: -- → P3

We can remove it from our own dictionary, but it should be reported upstream to SCOWL (https://github.com/en-wl/wordlist)

Words to replace:

  • Munchhausen -> Munchausen
