535098 - shift-F10 context menu content is different from right-click context menu

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 346930

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[rabarberski]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.5) Gecko/20091102 Firefox/3.5.5
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.5) Gecko/20091204 Thunderbird/3.0

When composing a message, and with the spell checker set to English-US, when typing shift-F10 (opens context menu on Windows) on a misspelled (i.e. red underlined) word no spelling suggestions appear in the context menu. When doing a mouse right-click on the same word, suggestions do appear on the context menu.

Obviously, this reduces keyboard-only accessibility of Thunderbird.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create a new message (ctrl-n)
2. In the compose window, make sure that your spell-check is set to english-us (Options > Check spelling > Language > 'English/United Stated' > Recheck Page)
3. Type some words, with a specific word intentionally misspelled. Right-click the misspelled word. Spelling suggestions should appear.
4. Position the cursor in the middle of the word and press shift-F10.
Actual Results:  
No spelling suggestions in context menu

Expected Results:  
Spelling suggestions in context menu (in bold)

Strange enough, when I use the Dutch spell-checker the context menu is consistent in both cases (mouse right-click and shift-F10)

I read about bug 371777 before submitting this one. And I don't see how it is considered a duplicate. 
In bug 371777 the context menu does not always appear/hide when it should. 
In my bug, the actual *content* of the context menu is sometimes wrong.

If you agree, please unmark as duplicate (I am new to bugzilla and its policies)

Yes, definitely. 
Had missed that one in my search. Sorry for the duplicate.
I'll post my 'language dependent" observation to that bug 346930 .
