Which raises the question: What happened to the spell checking that used to be in the Write and Browse activities? Trac bugs 5394 and 6099 suggest Write and Browse used to spell check but did not have a context menu for alternatives. Now on my XO running 8.2.0 neither highlights mis-spelled words. Is it intentional the feature went away in both? The only spell checking application on my 8.2.0 XO is Firefox, using its own local en-US dictionaries and a personal dictionary in ~/isolation/blah/.mozilla. I believe the underlying libraries for all three activities use the same Hunspell engine and could share a common dictionary (Trac 6104).

I think the standard "red dots" spell checking that AbiWord and Firefox do is extremely useful.
