I am a horrible speller.
In the past you clicked the word and a red box with choices appeared.
When I do this now, the red box appears and immediately goes away. It does this each time I select a misspelled word.
Testing
Spageti
This time it immediately flashed and read no replacements found, then vanished. The flash is maybe 1/4 of a second.
Would be way cool if it pointed out misspelled words as opposed to me needing to click them and check. If possible.
When I need to make sure something I type is correct, I put it in a Word document first. I then do a spelling check there and once corrected, copy and paste it here. I know that seems like a lot of work, but it's more efficient than clicking on one word at a time.
I only click the words I suspect may be wrong, not every word. No plans to make posts in Word then copy and paste. I only do that for for EBay ads.Quote:

I will see how other similar sites are acting regarding spelling mistakes that I click on and report back.Quote:

Anthony, I did the same Spagetti test on another site I frequently visit.
They use XEN Foro software.
Not debating that this sites software does not have a spell check, I believe you, however the other site, simply click the word you question, and a shaded red box hovers above the word you question / clicked on. There the box with suggested replacements, what happens here now, is the red box appears in an instant and then disappears. This happens in under 1 second.
I run Firefox. Do you still suspect this to be a Firefox issue?
[MENTION=14677]PMK[/MENTION] are you on a phone or desktop?
Currently, IPad, I can retry the same test on a windows based laptop later todayQuote:

Does it work properly if you go to the full editor by click "Go Advanced" @PMK
Went to Go Advanced, still happens there too.Quote:

If i quote you, the cursor goes under the quoted text as it should.Quote:

Chk your PM
Laptop underscores with the wavy red line, making it a no brainer it is spelled wrong.
Accomplishing next test you asked about.
PM’d test was the same with instant flash with correct Spaghetti spelling then gone.
Just odd, maybe it is a VB / Apple type problem.
As a self admitted bad speller, I can shrug off any spellcheck cops on here...
Do not waste the time on it, likely one of those things VB will resolve at some point.
No, Vb wont resolve it, this is the LAST version of vb 4 & its been EOL for a year now.
Chk your PM
Thanks for going the extra effort in resolving this. Sometimes, as we know, it is beyond what is capable at this level. No big deal, gives me a reason to spell words better...
No pb Paul, it was nice talking to you this morning, thanks for the input as well.
