** [tickets:#7954] new markdown editor fails to trigger browser spell checkers**
**Status:** open
**Milestone:** unreleased
**Created:** Sat Aug 08, 2015 04:48 AM UTC by T. Bug Reporter

**Owner:** nobody
>From <https://sourceforge.net/p/forge/site-support/10975/> (that posting
>apparently failed to get anyone's attention there in the past week, so I'm
>cross-posting it here):
> With yesterday's [2015-07-30] change to the message input form (i.e. the box
> I'm typing this into now), I find that my browser (Firefox 39) no longer
> invokes its spell-checker while I'm typing. If I right-click the text area, I
> still get "Check Spelling" as an option, but clicking that does nothing. The
> problem is apparently specific to this new form, because other input boxes
> (such as the one at https://sourceforge.net/support) still flag misspelled
> words.
>
> Also, it's not specific to Firefox, or to newer browsers. I tested with
> Chrome, and with old installations of Opera 12 and Safari for PC, and found
> the same behavior in all of them.
