"bzgl." is suggested by the spell checker even the spelling of "bzgl." is correct! When accepting the suggestion the result will be "bzgl.."

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Write text to a text box containing shortcuts containing punctuation mark
2. Right click to the word "bzgl." which is red underlines
3. Select "bzgl." from the menu

e.g. "bzgl.."

Expected Results:  
e.g. "bzgl." is spelled correctly

Are you using a german dictionary?

Sorry, have forgotten to mention this.
Yes, using German (DE-de) dictionary.

Mozilla ignores punctuation in dictionary. If you write "tzv." in dictionary, LibreOffice will correct "tzv" with "tzv." and if you write "tzv." it will see it as "tzv.". But Thunderbird (for example) can not handle "." and if you write e-mail, it will only see "tzv", never dot even if dot follows.

So if dictionary contains "tzv.", Thunderbird will always complain because it sees "tzv." as "tzv" and you can not get rid of red underline no matter how many dots you put after "tzv".

It ignores punctuation but it's comparing to spell check dictionary which contains punctuation.

bzgl. does not get a warning anymore but bzggl. does, and selecting the suggestion still makes it bzgl...
