Bug reported (Bug Number 6558).
I've verified that in a Windows OS the spell check options (choices for a corrected spelling) do "fly out" and work as expected. In a Linux OS (RPM based or Debian based) AND in Mac OSX the spell check options are not shown. This was all verfied using Firefox 1.5 on all Linux machines, the Mac's, and the Windows machines.
Hope to get this fixed soon as I REALLY need a spell checker
I know this is crappy bug reporting but I could have sworn that in M2 or M3 the spell checker was working properly for my Linux clients. No that I've upgraded to the GA release the spell checker is not working properly. But I can't for sure confirm that and I have long since upgraded to the current GA release so I can't go reverify that. Sorry.
