Click on enabled Spell icon does not do anything in composer and mail composer. Commad-K mostly calls the spell checker modal dialog, but also sometimes switches to a different window (from composer to the browser window), where it displays a modal dialog, which has something to do with auto filling form fields but has nothing to do with spell checking.

Also strange is that I see only the German dictionary, but the Englis dictionary is missing and no language is selected, when entering the spellchecker modal dialog even after explicitly selecting the German language in the dialog when spell checking before.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Click on the Spell icon
Actual Results:  
No reaction, when clicking on the icon

Expected Results:  
Opening the spell checker modal dialog as done when typing Command-K

The English language is completely missing. The German dictionary has been installed in an earlier build. German spell checking works. Also German spell checking as I type works.

Can you reproduce with SeaMonkey v2.0a1pre ?

In Build identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X 10.4; en-US; rv:1.9pre) Gecko/2008050101 SeaMonkey/2.0a1pre The problem has reduced to composer only. In mail composer it works. Normal composer seems to have also so other problems.

Could you see if this still happens in SM2.3 and/or a new profile?

Georg, can you recheck this on current SeaMonkey versions?
