221230 - compose freezes when I click "download more" in spellcheck box

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 217875

(MailNews Core :: Composition, defect)

Description

[John Chapman]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624

I wish spellchecker to use UK or Australian English rather than US, so I click
the down arrow under "Language:" and then click "Download More" to see if
there's a dictionary I like. At this point the compose pane freezes and I have
to end the task (i.e. Mozilla) with WIndows Task Manager. It may be significant
that spellcheck did not come with my version of Mozilla - I downloaded it from
your site yesterday. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. In Mail, click "Compose".
2. Create a message.
3. Click the "Spell" icon or go Options > Check Spelling. 
4. Click the down arrow next to "English/United States".
5. Click "Download More"
Actual Results:  
Mail "freezes". I lose the message I was composing and have to get out of
Mozilla via Windows Task Manager.

Expected Results:  
Presumably, given me a list of other languages I may care to choose from.

When I select "Minor..... easy workaround", there isn't really a "workaround" as
such - I just put up with being told "colour" should be spelled "color" :-)
