Spell Checker for Firebird

You really don't need an "Enable to resize window" option. Just make it always resizable, like the Options dialog, and then you can toast the option.

I've got it working on the latest Firebird trunk nightly under Linux. Totally straightforward install.

I've noticed a new bug though. If the first word in a text area or input is not in the dictionary (e.g. try just "aeou"), nothing gets displayed in the Mispelled Word, Replace with, or the main text area at the top. If you do a spell check of "aoeu thin" in a text input, the same happens, but when you click close, the text input is modified to just contain
" thin". If the first word is known (e.g. "thin aoeu") then all works fine.

Also, spellchecking text areas seems to always add a new line at the bottom of the text area.

Thanks,

Max

That is just at least one connection I have seen so far, as those that can get the spell checker to work for them are using(at least I figure) the official builds.

Hmm I even tried building firebird with spellcheck in it (by adding spellcheck to the list of extensions to build in, in my .mozconfig) instead of installing the mozilla 1.6a spellcheck.xpi later. It still crashes. :-(

I suspect that the jar patch for the 0.4 version is making it so that the right click context menu items for "Nuke Anything" and the "Paste IP" extension does not show up.

The two extensions work fine if I use the Spell checker 0.4 version without the jar patch though.

Has anybody seen conflicts like this too ???

The crashing issue *DOES* seem to be related to optimised builds. I have been unable to get spellchecker to work in any of Aebrahim's optiomized builds, but to day I upgraded to the official 11/26 builds and spellcheckers works fine, not even a hiccup. No idea what the problem is, but anyone else who is getting crashes, try an official nightly build and see if that gets it to work.

It is not related to optimized build actually. I did a build using the same .mozconfig as the nofficial nightlies and it still crashes. I think it has to do with compiling using MSVC++ 7.1 .NET 2003.

Well for about a week, this worked nicely for me, then CRASHO!!! Now it wont work at all. Nothing new on my 'puter. I had d/l the following 2 items:

http://cgi29.plala.or.jp/~mozzarel/addo ... e0_4_0.xpi

http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/ ... lcheck.xpi

Any advice? Should I move on up to the most recently nightly?

Well, I decided to go back to Official windows builds to try this out. The only reason I was building my own was to add the patch for Bug 222191 so I could use Mozilla to configure some Cisco gear for work. But, I love this feature so much I guess I will even resort to using IE to configure the Cisco gear!

This is the first thing I really think could be used to convince IE diehards to switch to Mozilla Firebird. IMHO we need to get this into the mainline code so it is fully supported and does not crash and will work with any build.

Can I vote for this to be added to the trunk, and not just the Firebird builds? ;-)

Please can you repost the links from the other thread in this post? The files installed from there worked, and I cant find any links in this thread that give me a working copy.

I'm using Firebird 0.7.

AcerKev · Post by **AcerKev** » December 1st, 2003, 3:07 pm

IGAU, i used the links in this post for my release version of Firebird 0.7 - no problems here

(Win 2000SP4-IE6SP1)

I asked Persist the same ? in the other thread. Those links fixed my spellchecker.

Ok thanks! It's working now

Great extension.

I think the links were the 1.5a version at http://mozcafe.com/xpi/spellchecker_1.5a.xpi

and the front end: http://cgi29.plala.or.jp/~mozzarel/addo ... ckerfe.xpi

However I think the spellchekerfe (front end) in that link is actually the 0.3 version though, as the dates of the links on his site seem to be.

For those who want to use a alternate dictionaries with the spellchecker, then go to http://spellchecker.mozdev.org/installa ... ctionaries
