Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 315784

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[Juan D. Tardos]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; es-AR; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050321 Firefox/1.0.2
Build Identifier: Thunderbird version 1.6a1 (20051110)

Changing the selected dictionary from a compose window thru Tools->options does not work unless the "spell as you type" option is unchecked and checked again.





Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install a second dictionary (e.g. spanish)
2.Tools->Option: Select the spanish dictionary and enable spell as you type 
3.Message-> New message
4.Type "hello world". It gets underlined in red (that's OK)
5.Tools->Options: change to english dictionary
Actual Results:  
The page is not re-checked and the red underlines remain in place.
If you type more english text, it gets underlined.

Expected Results:  
Re-check spelling with the selected dictionary.

Workaround: uncheck Options->"Spell as you type" and check it again and the dictionary change takes effect.
