Spell check not working
Hi, I've read through the other questions and none seem to solve my problem.
I cannot get spell check to work. • I have a dictionary installed (British - Marco Pinto) • I have the English GB language pack. • I've checked config settings and it is marked as true • I have the tick box enabled in settings under Language.
When I right click on text I do not get the language option or Check spelling option. I've tried disabling, re-enabling. Uninstalling and re-installing with no luck.. :(

Do you have a dictionary installed and selected?
You can see which dictionary is selected if you right-click in a text area and open the Languages sub menu. At least one dictionary should be installed and have a check mark to indicate that it is selected.
- open the "Add Dictionaries" link to install a dictionary if you do not have one.
The spelling checker is enabled if [X] "Check Spelling" in the right-click context menu has a checkmark.
You can enable or disable spell checking globally:
- Options/Preferences -> General: Language and Appearance: "Check your spelling as you type"
You can look here for dictionaries:
Note that for spell check you need a dictionary. A language pack provides string translations for the user interface.
You can check on the about:config page that layout.spellcheckDefault is set to 1 (multi-line) or 2 (single-line).

Thanks for your response but yes to all.
As mentioned I have a dictionary, the check spelling is enabled and the about:config settings are correct.
When I right click I do not get the Languages option.

Hi sophiemayking:
I installed the Marco Pinto dictionary and it works, here's what I see when I type 'labor' and then right click on 'labor' when writing an answer on this website.

What do you see? Please post a screenshot. You might have to use your phone do this in order to capture the right click menu
Cheers!
