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.

https://flic.kr/p/2iFCikh (i also attached the image to this answer; summary I see a suggestion to change it to 'labour')

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!
