224136 - The "Add Word Personal Dictionary" in Spell Check doesn't learn the new words. Also any proper name, if not capitolized, comes up with no suggested spellings.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 338291

(MailNews Core :: Composition, defect)

Actually I did once find (but now I don't know where it was) a file with my
"personal dictionary" spellings, but even with the new words spelled out
corectly, in spell check they still come up as a misspelled word.  In the file
that had my "personal dictionary", there were the same words listed multiple
times from each time I had spell check add it to the dictionary.  The words were
added to the personal dictionary, but spell check didn't use them.

As far as the "proper name" spellings, if I type "pennsylvania" it will come up
as misspelled, but without the suggested spelling capitolized as "Pennsylvania".

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.type an email with "LOL". 
2.Check spelling
3."LOL" comes up as misspelled, click the "add word" button.
4.type a new email with "LOL".
5.check spelling and "LOL" comes up as a mispelled word again over and over.

Actual Results:  
I think I already told you?

Expected Results:  
Learned the added word "LOL" in the personal dictionary so the next time a spell
check is done, "LOL" doesn't come up as a misspelled word.  This is true for ANY
words added to the personal dictionary.

If you click on "edit..." in the spellcheck window to edit your personal
dictionary, do the words show up?
