218752 - HotKey to FreeSpell only causes Mozills to beep

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Core :: Disability Access APIs, defect)

Description

[Russel SJ Goodman]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.5b) Gecko/20030815

Highlighting text and using the HotKey to access the FreeSpell utility (
http://hcidesign.com/freespell/ ) causes Mozilla to only beep. If immediately
after the beep the highlighted text is copied using the Edit > Copy from the
Mozilla menu bar FreeSpell displays the error "A sharing violation occurred
while accessing "c:\freeSpellTextFile.tmp." After clicking the OK button the
FreeSpell window opens and operates as expected, substituting corrections in its
own window and when exited updating the highlighted text in Mozilla as expected.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Highlight text in Mozilla
2. Use the HotKey combination to call up FreeSpell
3. After Mozilla beeps click Edit > Copy on the Mozilla menu bar
4. Click OK in the FreeSpell error window
5. Make necessary changes in the FreeSpell window and exit 
Actual Results:  
I was returned to Mozilla with the selected text corrected as expected.

Expected Results:  
Call up the FreeSpell edit window instead of beeping and forcing you to have to
resort to the Edit > Copy method.

you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
