335702 - Spell Check in Yahoo Mail does not work

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 316901

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[John Biddle]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.2) Gecko/20060308 Firefox/1.5.0.2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.2) Gecko/20060308 Firefox/1.5.0.2

When using Yahoo Mail and the Mozilla Browser the spell check function on Yahoo
Mail will NOT suggest a word but leaves a blank space as the "change to" word no matter what and will not find any misspelled words (everything is blank as if there are no misspelled words).  Spell Check works correctly when using Yahoo Mail and Internet Explorer. This only happens with Mozilla and on all 3 of my  machines.
I have found this to be a problem ever since I  have installed Mozilla 2 years ago.
I note that others have been having this same or similar problems with Spell Check while others do not.

Thanks,

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start Mozilla
2. Go to Yahoo Mail and compose text with a, or several, misspelled words
3. check spelling

Actual Results:  Nothing happens except that the spell check program appears and everything is blank.

Expected Results:  
a suggested CORRECT spelling of the word and a list of possible alternatives. 



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Either go to Compose or Reply in Yahoo Mail
2.Compose a message
3.Click on the Spell Check Icon

Actual Results:  
No words appear

Expected Results:  
A possible replacement and a list of alternatives

In my estimation, this is a major problem.
