Bug 30908 – [GTK] Spell Check Suggestions (Do not work)

• Component: WebKitGTK
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Matthew]

Currently I am using midori-git with webkit 1.1.15.3. I am also compiling the nightly build, r50235, as I am posting this. However, I doubt this build will solve the issue, as the issue has existed for at least a year now.

Currently, misspelled words are underline with a red squiggly line. If you right click on the word a menu shows up with undo, redo, cut, copy paste, select all, spelling + grammar, and input methods. If I highlight/select the word and right click, I get the menu I just described with spelling suggestions at the top. However, any selection I pick will cause the highlighted word to get deleted.

Let me know if you need any additional information and if there is anyway I can help resolve the issue.

Thank you!

I confirm this issue. Choosing a suggestion results in the string being removed without the suggestion appearing. I furthermore want to add that I find it very confusing that I have to mark the whole word first. From other browsers, namely the gecko engine, I'm used to just right-clicking a red underlined word to get suggestions immediately. I would prefer this way a lot, right now the spell check suggestions are just not usable at all.

I compiled the patch against the nightly 52242 tarball and it works wonderfully! Thank you so much!
