Is anyone else having a problem with the spell check in the Thread title?

[defacto7]

The spell check works fine in the Message text but has never worked in the Thread title or subject line on DU. It works on every other website I go to, just not on DU.

I posted an Ask The Admin question and Elad says it works fine.

Does anyone else have this issue? I can't see why it would only be a problem on DU and nowhere else.

1. I have to right click a word in the title box to bring up spell check.

It is automatic in the message box.

2. Oh.. is that the difference?

Interesting. For me, that's only on DU so I never noticed.

Thanks!

4. Got me...but that's how mine works.

You're welcome!

3. It's aliens...

The Intergalactic Overlords have taken over the spell check to turn our brains to mush. That way they can stick a tube up your nose and suck the mushy stuff right out.
I thought everyone knew that. Consider yourself fully informed.
If it continues just do this---->>>>>

5. Oh my god! I don't want to get probed...

I got probed once... by one of them. They probed me. You ever got probed? I got probed.

7. Well, sorta...

IT started to probe me and I kinda liked it. When I started screaming," More, more, more" they suddenly stopped and the next thing I know I'm waking up at Fisherman's Wharf in San Fransisco. I'd never been to S.F. before and really liked it there.
The only downer was that I had to pay for a flight back to Vegas where I was living at the time.

6. How to get Firefox to spellcheck the subject line:

Firefox: Spell Check Single line text boxes also

Firefox comes with spell checker which checks for spelling errors in the multi line text boxes. You can make Firefox to spell check single line text boxes also like email subject lines, etc by changing config entry.

Type about:config in a new tab, then go to the key layout.spellcheckDefault. It's value is 1 by default, which means spell check multi line text boxes only.

0 - Disable Spell check.
1 - Check multi line text boxes only.
2 - Check all text boxes, including single line text boxes.

Change the key value to 2. No more spelling errors in the email subject lines.

9. Yeah sure...

Until the aliens hack Firefox (again) and lock the key value to 0.
Then the probing begins.

12. Oh my god... I don't want to get.....

probed! Did I tell you I get probed once? I did! Probed!

[defacto7]

10. Yeay... That's it.

Don't have problems with email subject lines, Didn't have problems with a couple of other sites probably because of the single line entry definition... now set to 2 and I'll check around.

I have had so many weird thing happen with upgrades of Firefox in the last few months. The en-US changed to British but corrupted the English dictionary so it was overwritten with the British one. So I had to clean it all out and reinstall the en-US which of course dumped all my custom spelling...

I've been running Mozilla for years and now the strangeness happens. Then I got probed.

8. It's probably your browser

Sometimes it goes away in my Firefox settings following an update. Easy to fix:



If the value isn't 2, change it to 2.

11. Ha... that what I just wrote...

You are exactly right. Thanks
