801254 - Spell check is treating partial words as words on Gmail

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[suzarooni]

Attachment: spell checker errors on Gmail.jpg

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:16.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/16.0
Build ID: 20121010144125

Steps to reproduce:

Typing email messages in Gmail


Actual results:

The latter few letters of numerous words are underlined indicating wrong spelling when the full words are spelled correctly.


Expected results:

The red squiggly line indicating a misspelling should not be showing up under partial parts of words. This only started happening after I installed the latest version of Firefox 16.0.1. Prior to this, I had never had this issue with Gmail.
