>2. Chose "Spell"

I can't do that since Mozilla have no spellchecker.
Is this a a engine or third-party spellchecker bug (and invalid)
 

Comment 4

[Stefan Sofariu]

the spell checker has been implemented by default only in the new build 1.3nightly.
it's right: in the version 1.2.1 has to be manually installed.
since has been adopted is it still a third-party tool?

Comment 5

[Matthias Versen [:Matti]]

no, it's not in the nightly (unless i missed something)

Comment 6

[Stefan Sofariu]

it seems that when I uninstalled 1.2.1 and installed 1.3nightly the plugin has
been reinstalled without my help, making me thought the plugin is now part of
the project.
