702115 - Context menu slow on certain spellcheck words. (Dutch dictionary)

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Spelling checker, defect)

Steps to reproduce:

Using the Dutch dictionary, i typed the following word in a text area: "ageresieve". 

Right clicking to correct this word was slow (0.5-1 second by my stopwatch measurement). I noticed other words are a lot faster, trough there is a variation between words, "ageresieve" sure is a worse case.

The en/us dictionary for example, is fast on "ageresieve", so fast i don't notice a difference between opening the context menu on correct words and on "ageresieve". 


Actual results:

The context menu opened slow.


Expected results:

The context menu should open fast (especially repeated action, catching anyone?)

I tested this on both Firefox 8 and the latest nightly.

Could be a hunspell bug...

Same problem here, with french dictionary and Firefox 16.0.2

Sometimes you want to access the Context Menu, and doing it on the word
"InvalidOriginalJobOrgCouple" is a very bad idea... takes too long !!!

Could you add something like "If the spellcheck takes more than 2 seconds, skip it" ? And, in this case, in the context menu, add a "Force spellcheck" option so that you can still does long spellchecking ?
