[OpenIndiana-discuss] /hipster: thunderbird (firefox) doesn't provide spell checking funcionality

[Predrag Zečević - Unix Systems Administrator]

Hi All,

does anyone knows how to fix lack of spell checking feature on /hipster 
thunderbird ("Check spelling before sending" and "Enable spell check as 
you type" are enabled in Composition -> Spelling set-up):

mail/thunderbird 31.7.0-2015.0.1.0

For example, this one does it properly: 
https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/releases/31.7.0/contrib/solaris_tarball/thunderbird-31.7.0.en-US.opensolaris-i386.tar.bz2 
(but it has another problem: cannot save attachment or attach file - 
dumps core on those attempts).

Installed (in booth TB cases) following add-ons:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/british-english-dictionary-/
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/united-states-english-spellche/
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/german-dictionary/

My /hipster installation has installed:
$ pkg list | grep spell
library/desktop/gtkspell                          2.0.16-2015.0.0.0 
      i--
library/myspell/dictionary/en                     2.30.0-0.151.1.8 
      i--

      i--

      i--


So, any ideas?

Thank you and best regards.


P.S: Checked FF:
web/browser/firefox 24.8.1-2015.0.0.2

It suffers from same problem (also FF 37 provided generously by Martin 
Bochnig)

P.S. Sorry if I made spelling mistakes :-)
