(Core :: Spelling checker, defect)

[zdposter]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:2.0b6) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0b6

I am maintainer of Slovak dictionary for Mozilla/Hunspell/Openoffice.org and some users complain that in Firefox/Thunderbird that did not see correct suggestion from spellchecker.

After investigation I found out that Hunspell show correct suggestion on 6th position or if word is too short even on 11th position when misspelled word start with capital letter (e.g. "Dobry" or "Vam"). If misspelled word did not start with capital letter (e.g. "dobry" or "vam") than correct suggestion is on first position usually.

This is not problem in Hunspell or OpenOffice because they show 15 suggestions for correction. But Firefox/Thunderbird show only 5 suggestion so user do not see correct one.

So solution would be to increase number of displayed suggested words (maybe some option in about:config).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Type word "Dobry" and use spellchecker with Slovak dictionary
2. Try to search for correct suggestion ("Dobrý")

Actual Results:  
Obry
Kobry
Hobry
D obry

Expected Results:  
Dobrý

This problem is platform independent (at least on linux and windows).
This problem is in different mozilla product (firefox, thunderbird)
