Hi Ports,
This might be old information but I have just noticed that spell checking is
working again in Firefox 29.0 and Thunderbird 24.5.0
Yes, i finally found time to dig into it, and it got commited with 29.0.
Not everything is properly fixed (the root issue is not, see
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/991278), but at least this way it works.
After upgrading to OBSD 5.5 my spell checker also quit working with
Seamonkey 2.23, the release package. I've been trying to live without it
until November, but I just can't. My spelling isn't 100% and I use email for
professional business communications.
I somewhat doubt it "stopped working" since it was known broken since
basically forever. Spellchecking was fixed _after_ 5.5 was branched, so
you'll either have to:
- upgrade to -current to get seamonkey 2.26, which *should* be fixed
- backport the fix, which consist in rebuilding the package adding
--with-system-hunspell to CONFIGURE_ARGS.
Thanks Landry, that explains it. I've been trying everything, including
uninstalling LibreOffice, which auto installed mozilla-dicts-en-GB and
hunspell. I thought maybe LibreOffice and those packages were
conflicting with Mozilla. I did the manual installation outlined here
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Dictionaries ...
Well, it really did "stop" working for me. I was running 5.3 release.
Once 5.5 came out, I did two quick upgrades, basically bypassing 5.4 and
jumping right to 5.5. I immediately noticed that the spell checker was
broken.
Anyway, I will reinstall LibreOffice and the hunspell packages then
backport the fix on the release ports as you instructed. Thanks again
Landry.
