Description

[Andrew]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1a2) Gecko/20060512 BonEcho/2.0a2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1a2) Gecko/20060512 BonEcho/2.0a2

I composed a message in gmail and it did not spell check. I found out the problem occurred because gmail uses iframes for the compose form, which was longer than 5 lines. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.log into gmail
2.compose a message
3.type a word not in the english dictionary in the main field.

Actual Results:  
firefox did not spell check

Expected Results:  
firefox should have spell checked
