When typing in a comment (mostly on YouTube, but elsewhere as well) the spell check works fine. I type a little too fast for my small keyboard and make more than my share of typos. So, I might have 4 or 5 in a comment. Very often when I go to correct them, either by right clicking and choosing the word I want, or by manually correcting it, suddenly all the remaining misspelled words lose their red squiggly lines and I have to manually proofread for them. I COULD submit the comment, and then go back and edit it, at which time the spell check will pick up those remaining words again. But it could again lose them.
This only happens on Seamonkey, and is very frustrating. IT makes spell check useless. In some ways, it makes having spellcheck WORSE than not having anything since it lulls your into a false sense of security. So do I fix it?
Again, it KNOWS the words are spelled wrong barbecue it flags them initially. IT just forgets about them as I am changing them.

Any change if you restart in Safe Mode?
Fire 750, bring back 250.
