Spell-check works for me, but the suggested word is at the top of the menu.
19/20 times I scroll the mouse pointer way, way up.
A reverse sequence, with the most likely suggestion at the foot of the menu would reduce mouse-work by as much as ten per email, multiplied daily by the number of people who use the spell-checker.
Thanks

I use the Grammar and Spell Checker extension and have "Enable spellcheck as you type" enabled.
I'd suggest you look for or file an enhancement bug report if you don't find one on Bugzilla.

Re: spellcheck - reverse sequence in popup menu?
There isn't a pref to reverse the order.
You could move the suggestions above the "Check Spelling" menu item within the context popup menu.

Remember to set the toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets preference to true, then restart.

Users complain about taking an extra step to edit a calendar event, print something and do other tasks, but it's okay if they go through hoops to create a CSS file.

How about it's the difference between a one time process versus having to do a process every time you want tings to come out differently from the default.WaltS48 wrote:Users complain about taking an extra step to edit a calendar event, print something and do other tasks, but it's okay if they go through hoops to create a CSS file.
