Make spellcheck work with Webkit backend
Last modified: 2010-01-21 19:46:57 UTC
Please describe the problem: When I right click on a work I want to correct, because I know that it is wrong, choose spelling and grammar, choose any option, and nothing happens at all. There is no command line output either, just nothing happens. Steps to reproduce: 1. Navigate to site with text entry. 2. Enter somethign that is purposefully spelled wrong. 3. Right-click the word, go into spelling and grammar, and choose any option. Actual results: Absolutely nothing, no response or anything. Expected results: I'm not sure, I would assume that it would do what it is labeled to do, ie check the spelling and grammar now. Does this happen every time? Yes Other information:
-> Backend:WebKit
I can confirm this behavior with the current epiphany-webkit package under Debian sid. Being able to spellcheck is kind of a nice feature, any change that this can be fixed?
Depends on https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15616 ?
Seems that spell checking works now with webkit backend and epiphany-2.27.5 (I would prefer to have spell checking for english and spanish like evolution allows... but it's a different topic ;-))
This has been fixed in WebKitGTK+ a while ago, should work with latest versions.
This seems to have regressed. No indication of any spelling errers in this sentense, epiphany 2.29.5, with webkit 1.19.
