Bug 1790746 improved the spell check situation for multiple dictionaries, but we noticed a case that isn't working, even if only one dictionary is active.

  • Use TB Daily in en-US
  • Install another dictionary, tested with German
  • On a message header, right click on the sender and select "Compose Message To" from the context menu
  • In the new compose window without further clicks, start entering the subject, for example "heute" (today).

The word is marked as misspelled and a right-click onto the subject confirms that German is not selected, instead, subject and body are out of sync.

Our fix for bug 1790746 (first reported as bug 1775376) now here didn't show this issue. So re-introducing some elements from this patch into the fix from bug 1790746 solves this issue:
