296366 - Inline spellchecker doesn't highlight correctly after some "Enter-, Backspace-, Space Action"

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1100966

(Core :: Spelling checker, defect)

Description

[t.spam]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; en) Opera 8.0
Build Identifier: version 1.0+ (20050531)

If you type a wrong word at the end of a line followed by 'Enter' the word is 
correctly makred as wrong. If you go back with 'Backspace'the mark disappears, 
what either is still correct. But if you now press 'Space' followed by whatever, 
the mark stays away (only at this word!), but appeares again when you press 
'Enter'.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Type "NoWord" (or any other word, that is not in your Dict.)
2. Press 'Enter' 
3. Press 'Backspace'
4. Press 'Space'
5. Keep writing whatever you want.

Actual Results:  
The wrong word is not marked as so unless you press 'Enter' again.

Expected Results:  
Mark the wrong word as soon as the cursor leaves it after step 4.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.

still see in version 2.0.0.7pre (20071017)

it is possible to cause a full line of misspellings to be ignored.
this doesn't happen in firefox.

Magnus, should this go to editor, or spellcheck?

On thunderbird trunk, STR is slightly different, add step 6:
1. Type "NoWord" (or any other word, that is not in your Dict.)
2. Press 'Enter' 
3. Press 'Backspace'
4. Press 'Space'
5. write anything
6. Press 'Enter'

underline is gone from NoWord
