Spell checker components are a mature product, which have been polished for 3 years. On the other hand, my front end said hello to firebird just 3 days ago, still having a lot of things to do. Another reason for keep them separate is DL size; 450K and 17K. And components are not cross platform. However, in the future, if FE would be stable enough, I might change my mind.Geronimo wrote:Even with a new profile
It's no strange. Generally speaking, creating a new profile solves various problems like a charm, but in this case, spellchecker components are installed into your program directory so that it didn't help you. Please click the link below and try again.

I installed 1.5A AND THE UPDATED FRONT END. iT CRASHED ANYWAY.
Probably I should combine them.

this extension works pretty good. only thing i found is that it sometimes highlights words which are spelled correct and it gives the exact word as replacement but the replace button is greyed out. and i want to suggest a hotkey combination so that you don't need to use the mouse since your hands on the keyboard.

Today I tried several builds and they worked for me.
After exit firebird, deleting components\compreg.dat and components\xpi.dat might solves crash problem, though I'm not sure at all.

I added to css
Code: Select all
border: 2px inset ThreeDFace;

I'm sorry, but I'm not sure what you mean. What is in line and what is squiggle? Screen shot, please.

Right! And I did it. Take a look at the previous post.

Hmm, I've never experienced it. Is it reproducible? And Yes, hotkey is a very good idea! But we think about what key should be assigned, very carefully. It's too late to change it when your fingers get used to that action. Ctrl + S is assigned Save Page as, and Ctrl + C is Cut. I think Ctrl + some key is better, but Alt(meta) + S may be safer. What do you think?
another suggestion. is it possible to not let the spell checker check http-links...
Thunderbird has this feature. However, you know, thunderbird components crashes firebird. And I guess this change would be the reason to crash. If strings contained "http://", firebird crashed at 100%... Please wait till Mozilla 1.5b.
