Adding a word to my user dictionary causes it to not be flagged as misspelled, but doesn't make it available to the list of possible corrections offered when I right-click a red-underlined word.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Type text containing an odd or idiosyncratic word into a textarea. The word 'textarea' worked for me. It should get the wavy red underline indicating it's misspelled.
2. Right click on the word, and choose Add to Dictionary. The red underline indicating it's misspelled should go away.
3. Type a misspelled variant of that word into a textarea, say one with different capitalization. 'Textarea' worked for me. It should get the wavy red underline indicating it's misspelled.
4. Right click it, and note that the user-defined word isn't in the list of possible corrections.
Actual Results:  
Exactly as described.

Expected Results:  
User-defined words should be offered as possible spelling corrections.
