695518 - Spellcheck tries to change a word that's not there

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 505537

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[svantrie]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:7.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/7.0.1
Build ID: 20110928134238

Steps to reproduce:

I pasted a symbol from Microsoft Word 2010.


Actual results:

When I spellchecked the email, it said that the word "Garamond" was there but did not highlight anything, nor was it there. However, it was the font the symbol was in, so that may be the problem.


Expected results:

The spellchecker should have said, "No misspelled words."

I pasted the "th" sign that word autocorrects.

Remember, this was version 6. There's a version 14 already? WOW!
