235182 - RFE: ChatZilla should have support to spellcheck comments

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 340177

(Other Applications :: ChatZilla, enhancement)

Description

[Roland Mainz]

RFE: ChatZilla should have support to spellcheck comments. There should be a
button or menu item to spellcheck the comment input field, other the whole field
or the current selection.

Better from user's point of view would be continuously on spell-checker. The
easier to implement but not as good would be to provide an option to spell check
every comment just as you are seing them. The easier to user would be spell
check as you type.

In fact, I think there should be a global Mozilla option to spell check
*everything* that the user types, in real time.

There are currently 2 spellcheck plugins available from
http://czplugins.mozdev.org. 

Personally, I wouldn't use a spellchecker in Chatzilla, and I do not know of any
other client which has such functionality. I imagine it would be very hard to
implement on the fly checking though.

So we have a newer dupe that actually depends on the bug we need to have this fixed. That's more info than this vague RFE, so duping this to that.
