Steps to reproduce:

Spell check doesn't work in version 8.0. I did nothing to cause this, it was a "standard" installation.


Actual results:

The dialog box for it comes up everytime an e-mail is sent, even when everything is correctly spelled & it takes two clicks to close it. When a word is misspelled, it doesn't underline it & it "spelling" is clicked, the dialog box is empty.


Expected results:

It should have underlined the misspelled word & offered replacements with correct spelling. It should not have opened the spell check box when all spelling is correct.

There was a similar bug report earlier in bug 689723.
Anything in Tools -> Error console ?

Do you have dictionaries installed ?
I installed English dictionary yesterday. Apparantly one of the new "features" of version 8 is to remove the dictionary; I never had this happen with any previous version. Way to go Mozilla. I was close to going back to OE!
We had a bug in version 8.0 and we quickly pushed 8.0.1 to fix it. But you got probably affected.
