So, I recently updated Thunderbird and I appear to have lost the Spell check as you type feature.
By 'doesn't work' I mean; The incorrectly spelled word is underlined, but a right click shows; No Spelling Suggestion (which kind of suggested the feature can't find or isn't reading the dictionary)
I have done multiple things to try to get it to work.
I have checked I have the English Language Pack installed in Add-ons> Language
I have check I have an English dictionary installed in Add-ons > Dictionary.
(I have uninstalled the above and re-installed them too, including, shutting down Thunderbird in between)
I have unchecked the "Enable spell check as you type" in Settings > Composition, restarted Thunderbird and then re-checked it.
Quite by chance, while I was typing this, I added an Add-on called "Easy Table Editor by Cardella"
And whilst testing it, I noticed the Spell Check as you Type worked in the Pop-up window and continued to work inside the inserted table in the compose window.
NOTE: Text outside the table, still does NOT work.
Whilst playing around, I also used a Text Highlighter tool (TextMarker) and amazingly, text that has been highlighted, also seems to work with Spell Check as you Type.
I then deleted everything (Ctrl A) Delete.
And any text I type, now responds correctly to the Spell Check as you Type.
So, something in the thml code seems to be disrupting the code?
I deleted this line and it works
