339762 - Spellchecking not working for non privileged chrome

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Core :: XUL, defect)

Description

[Sylvain Pasche]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686 (x86_64); en-US; rv:1.8.0.4) Gecko/20060508 Firefox/1.5.0.4
Build Identifier: 

Moreover, triggering the context menu generates the error "uncaught exception: Permission denied to create wrapper for
object of class UnnamedClass".

As the binding depends on XPCOM components I guess this is not trivial to fix. The quick workaround would be to disable spell check gracefully in this situation.

Reproducible: Always

This will proably become moot when bug 336799 is fixed. However, that will probably just disable it for all XUL. Will will probably be adding back this capability in chrome in the future, which should include this bug for unprivledged chrome.

Cut, copy, paste also doesn't work on the context menu, see bug 321879, that's a related bug.

What is the status of this? Should we close as WFM, WONTFIX?

Moving to Core :: XUL for a decision. If this is actually a result of _remote_ XUL we might wontfix (since that's off by default now, bug 546857). Maybe we want to be able to support chrome://-but-unprivledged XUL with spellcheck? Probably still low-priority, though.
