Details
User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:91.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/91.0
Steps to reproduce:
Just opened a task, and edited its description
Actual results:
A spellchecker is active, on a language which is not the language of the description. Which means that half the words are underlined red, not because they are misspelled, but rather because it assumed they are written in a different language
Expected results:
-
There should be a possibility to tell the spellchecker which language is being entered. For instance, in Firefox, the same is solved nicely by providing a right-mouse-button menu which has a "Languages" submenu, where you can pick a language from
-
There should be a possibility to switch off the spellchecker altogether (might be needed if the task description contains items which are not in natural language, such as SQL or shell command lines). Again, in Firefox, this is solved nicely with the "Check Spelling" checkbox in the right-mouse-button menu available in textareas.

I'm not sure what I'm supposed to get out of this. Bug 69687 is 22 years old and thus predates the task description train wreck which only happened around December 2021. Only common thing is that it is about spell language choice, but in different areas of the software. In the original spots (mail messages, web pages) it has been solved long ago, as mentioned in my summary.
Still an issue in 91.13.0 btw.

Just noticed: you can switch off the spell-checker altogether using the mail.spellchecker.inline config editor setting.
Downside: this also switches it off for composing mail messages, where you'd actually want it (because configurable).
However, if you go into chrome/calendar/content/calendar-item-iframe.js in /usr/share/thunderbird/omni.ja, you can change the name of that variable to calendar.spellcheck.inline, and presto, independent control of mail and calendar spellchecker.
