Spell-Check issue
v 31.0
Seems each time Thunderbird is re-started, the spell-check malfunctions -- when writing a new message, all words are red-highlighted, indicating a spell error.
I 'fix' the issue by 1) disabling spell-check, close and re-start, 2) re-start and enable spell-check.
Ideas? Thanks!
By the way, this might be helpful...
Recently replaced the drive on iMac, restored from Time Machine... Also, performed a 'disk erase', Mac's function for cleaning-up deleted files. wondering if Thunderbird was impacted. Although, everything else on the iMac runs perfectly.

regardless of what the forum people at Mozilla say, we do handle multiple problems in one post.. But then Thunderbird is a community project, we are just a little independent.
That and your other issue may well be related. could time machine be replacing these files over and over? Spelling setting I am sure are stored in profiles.js, along with account settings. This is a text formatted java-script file. So open it in a text editor and just scroll through it. Is there an discontinuities and might be corruption. (you do not have to understand it to see something obviously different.)
Also check that the session.JSON file is stored and unchanged session to session. Under windows ccLeaner deletes that in a misguided attempt to protect you privacy. Nothing to say there is not a MAC culprit as well.
Hey Matt Not sure what you mean by "Time Machine replacing files" ... I don't think that would happen unless it's constantly backing-up files, which is unlikely ... Or am I not understanding?
