Spell check is not working in Yahoo Mail after new install of 7.0.1 even though the check box is ticked. Any ideas?

I downloaded 7.0.1 onto a friends laptop for him as he liked the spell check feature he had seen on my machine running 6.2.

However, although the check box is ticked in Options it does not spell check in Yahoo Mail which is what he want having seen it working for me.

I 've deleted and reinstalled after a restart but it still won't work.

Any ideas or did this one just slip through the net?

Websites can disable the spell check, you you need to verify via the right-click context menu that "Check Spelling" is still enabled.
