I have embedded FCKEditor in to a web application and am using the Fire Fox 3.0 Spell checker. I have set the following in the fckconfig.js file:
FCKConfig.FirefoxSpellChecker = true;
FCKConfig.BrowserContextMenuOnCtrl = true;
When I enter text in FCKEditor, I encounter the following problems:
1) Misspelled words do not get highlighted if I hit enter to move to the next line
2) Not all misspelled words will be highlighted. Sometimes only the first misspelled word on a line gets a highlight.
3) Sometimes using the toolbar button to switch to source and back will highlight all misspelled words. Same thing if I toggle the fill screen button.
4) All other regular text controls on the page high light spell checking correctly.
5) Sometimes after a source view or fill screen the spell checker seems to work better and will highlight all the misspelled words on a line except for a misspelled word preceding a return.
Has anyone else encountered this? Is there any fix?
Thanks,
Ken

Re: FireFox 3.0 In Line Spell Checker is Working Iratically
Build identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; de; rv:1.9.0.1) Gecko/2008072820 Firefox/3.0.1
I tried the tinyMCE editor as well, which shows this behavior, too. Looks like FF is to blame here?
Re: FireFox 3.0 In Line Spell Checker is Working Iratically
I can also confirm this on FF2 - Windows, Mac & Ubuntu - for some windows I need to be able to enable a checkbox - 'Spellcheck this page' - option.
any ideas?
Re: Firefox 3.0 In Line Spell Checker is Working Erratically
I've done some research over this problem. It looks like we can't do much to solve it at our side, as this is a bug in Firefox itself.
Actually, this one looks like an old and known bug at their side:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=357207
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=358585
I've added a comment to one of these tickets, pointing to a FCKeditor sample page where they can test this feature. Hopefully someone will get interested on that soon, working for a fix to it.
