448677 - TinyMCE Spellcheck doesn't work for more than one word

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 432225

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Nic Boie]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.16) Gecko/20080702 Firefox/2.0.0.16
Build Identifier: http://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-3.0.1&os=win&lang=en-US

Using firefox 3 (product download linked above), the spellcheck part of the TinyMCE Java applet only works for the first word in the dialog box.  

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to a website using TinyMCE
2.Misspell a word
3.Misspell the next word
Actual Results:  
The second, and thereafter misspelled words are not recognized as being misspelled. 

Expected Results:  
Spell checking should work on the entire text area.

TinyMCE is a Java applet to provide a word-processor like text editor for web applications.  I am using it to work with eBay templates on a locally hosted problem, although the problem existed when using TinyMCE on other sites.  When I downgraded to FireFox 2.0.0.16, the problem went away, and spell check worked again in full.

I should mention that this is using the built-in textbox spell checker, not any add-on TinyMCE spell checkers.

Have you tried to reproduce this in Safe Mode http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode?

duplicate of bug 432225. By the way, TinyMCE is pure Javascript (not a Java applet).

By the way, I didn't find this other bug report searching before.  Weather it's an applet, or pure javascript; the problem remains.
