That issue has been fixed in latest versions, but I think the spell checker is
still pretty limited. There's [no way to see correction
suggestions](https://github.com/NextStepWebs/codemirror-spell-checker/issues/10)
and no way to add words to a local dictionary.
Also when we do it, I'd tweak the CSS a bit to use a border instead of
background:
~~~~
::css
.CodeMirror .cm-spell-error:not(.cm-url):not(.cm-comment) {
background: inherit;
border-bottom: 1px dotted red;
}
~~~~

** [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
**Last Updated:** Mon Aug 17, 2015 01:45 PM UTC

>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.
