267355 - An Ignored word is caught again when doing a Replace/Replace all on another word.

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Spelling checker, defect)

Description

[Tracy Walker [:tracy]]

Seen on recent builds of Mozilla trunk and Thunderbird branch

-Open a new message compose
-type the following:
Hello
kjhjk
helo
helo

-perform a spell check
-click ignore when it shows the junk text
-click Replace when it shows the first helo and let it replace with hello

tested results:
spell check changes the spelling of the first helo, but then goes back to the
beginning of the composition and captures the junk text again.

expected results:
spell check continues on to the next helo
(preform the above test with Ingore All on the junk text to see the proper behavior)

note: The entire page is rechecked, as long as there are mispelled words,
ignored words will be recaptured after every correction of another word.
Finally, ignore the junk text. If no other mispellings are found, the check will
finish.

this bug is also evident in mozilla 1.7.3, so it's been around for a while.
