200939 - Implement realtime spellchecking in text entry widgets for gui libs that support it

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 16409

(Core :: XUL, enhancement)

Description

[pajor]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; Debian/1.3.3.20030401-1) Gecko/20030319 Galeon/1.3.3
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; Debian/1.3.3.20030401-1) Gecko/20030319 Galeon/1.3.3

Some toolkits have implemented realtime spellchecking in their text entry
widgets.     This is to be a metabug for support of these features in mozilla. 
AFAIK, Mac OS X, and GTK2 (with GTKspell) are the main targets and two new bugs
should be filed for those specific implementations.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Show the education system failed you by misspelling words in a text widget on a
desktop environment which supports real time spellchecking in it's text widgets
Actual Results:  
Text fields do not second guess the human, and accept their mangled english happily.

Expected Results:  
Scoffed at the human's input by visually modifiying the misspelled word
(concurrent with toolkit conventions) to once again show AI superiority.  Rub it
in by allowing the user to right click on the misspelled word and give spelling
suggestions.

this bug is a dupe of bug 16409. Also note bug 151040 is related to using the OS
X native service
