Enable default Firefox spell checker in "Rich Text" mode?

[myle00]

Hi,

There's one thing that has been annoying me about spell checking. Everywhere else, when I type text Firefox's spell checker automatically highlights incorrectly spelled words, but it doesn't do it in here when posting to the forum. The only option is to use NI's spell checker. The problem is that I'm so used to Firefox's spell checker that when I see no red line I automatically submit the post, and by the time I finished submitting I remember that I need to run NI's checker so now I have to edit the post.

Also, NI's spell checker doesn't let me browse the text and correct at my leisure, instead it goes through all the text from start to end and I cannot jump a head on my own to correct. Once I was able when NI's spell checker was active to jump ahead and just right click on the red underlined words and fix them, but I cannot figure out how to do that again.

Is there some way of enabling Firefox's default spell checker while writing text in Rich text mode so that I don't have to use Ni's? This way I'd also be able to use my own dictionary.

I couldn't see this issue being raised anywhere here so hopefully it's not a duplicate.

Thanks,

Matt

myle00,

Thanks for your feedback! I communicated this back to our vendor. I'll post back here if there are any updates.

The same applies under chrome.

At one point in the past it actually worked.

Currently it still works for the post subject field (i.e. a misspelled word in the title will get a squigly red underline), but it no longer works for the rich text body entry.

It seems that this topic is still relevant.  I would much prefer the browser's spell checker since it is so much more convenient.  Even better yet is that it would support all the languages that the browser supports rather than the short list provided by this built-in one.
