Steps to reproduce:

Attempt to send email containing spelling errors.

Actual results:

The write form blocks but no spelling correction window is visible.
The spell check window appears to be behind the write window, but even the Windows(tm) cascade windows feature does not bring it into view.

If you repeatedly press the Enter key the default correction is applied until eventually the email is sent. This process can result in unreadable email when the corrections are for proper nouns relating to a current project.

Expected results:

The email spelling window should be visible.
My guess is the spell check window should have the Write window as its parent, but is instead being parented to the main mail window.

Apologies, I used to have a third monitor, but forgot to update the Windows Display settings when it was removed.
The Spell Checker must have been directed to that non-existent monitor. It is now working correctly.
