GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 767236
quick correction spell check in context menu is gone
Last modified: 2016-06-09 12:34:04 UTC
There is no more spell check menu item in the context menu in the composer like there was in < 3.18. I'm running Ubuntu Gnome 16.04 with gnome (staging) ppa's.
I just want to add that I see a similar/the same error in Evolution 3.20.2 from Debian testing. To reproduce it just select at least one language in the spell checker settings, open a new email and start typing some gibberisch and hit the space key. The gibberisch is then underlined red, as expected. However, right clicking on it opens the normal context menu instead of the spell checking context menu and moreover makes the red underline disappear. The red underline also disappears whenever the cursor is moved with the arrow keys over a word marked as wrong. This makes spell correcting spelling errors very difficult.
Fixed with the following commits: Bug 767236 - quick correction spell check in context menu is gone Actually this is a regression after commit d83a448, but we can skip the call to the e_html_editor_selection_has_text and only operate on the current caret word. commit 64039de in the master branch for Evolution 3.21.3+ commit 4c13144 in the gnome-3-20 branch for Evolution 3.20.4+
Wow, thanks for the super quick fix/response. I'll have a look when 3.20.4 has trickled down to the gnome3-staging ppa.
