Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

[Alex Eng]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.8b) Gecko/20050121 Firefox/1.0+

Spelling correction via the inline spelling correction context menu cannot be
undone via the Edit | Undo command.

This would be useful if a user accidently corrects a "misspelled" word that is
actually spelled correctly, but is simply not entered in the user dictionary.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enter a misspelled word.  A dotted red underline should appear under the
misspelled word when pressing the spacebar.
2. Right click on the offending word and choose a spelling suggestion to correct it.
3. Chooose Undo from the Edit menu to attempt to reverse the spelling correction.

Actual Results:  
If there was an undoable editing action prior to entering the misspelled word,
that previous editing action will be undone, not the spelling correction.

Expected Results:  
The corrected word should revert to its misspelling prior to its correction.
