181890 - Location field CM shouldn't have Spelling and Font subemenus

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(Camino Graveyard :: Location Bar & Autocomplete, defect)

Description

[Steve Smart]

In Chimera/2002112504, the contextual menu for text in the location field
includes the standard Spelling and Font submenus, as well as the Learn/Ignore
Spelling commands when text is selected. None of the commands in either of these
menus do anything, nor would enabling them be useful in the URL bar since you
shouldn't be able to change the text style in that field, and the spell checker
isn't applicable to URLs.

The Speech submenu and the Cut, Copy, and Paste commands work fine.

fwiw, i was able to Check Spelling and bring up the system font and color
pickers from the urlbar's context menu.

however, i think these menu items are expected, since the urlbar actually uses
the cocoa native text widget (unlike the textfields in the content area).
marking this  invalid --though i'm not sure why all of the context menu items
aren't working (or perhaps they're just not properly disabled, like the text
style ones).

Do we need to set a flag to say that the url bar is not styled text? Maybe that
will eliminate the style and color items?? I also notice that I can paste styled
text in here, and see style sometimes.

You can bring up the color picker (or set bold, italic, etc.), but it won't
actually change anything.
