Is Fluther not completely compatible with Firefox?

Asked by Rude_Bear (882points) December 24th, 2009

I use the spell check function of Firefox. It basically tells me when/if I make a spelling error as I type. When I type the initial question on Fluther, the spell check function doesn’t seam to work. Am I doing something wrong? Are they just not perfectly compatible?

I find Firefox and Fluther pretty compatible. But the Firefox spell checker only works in some capacities. For example, you wouldn’t want it checking your google searches as you type them in, or your web addresses! I think it just recognizes the “Question Title” box as one of those without a need for spell checking.

W w w… No, I do not mean “wow” you piece of shit! Just let me type in pornhub!

It works for me. Right click in the response box and make sure that the “check spelling” button is checked.

It works for me. But it only tells you if you use a word that’s not actually a word, not if you use the wrong one, for example seam instead of seem. ;-P

I noticed the same issue. What i tend to do is copy my question down into the detail box just to double check that everything is spelled correctly.

Right click on the text entry field and pick “check spelling” and it will check. It happens to me too.

I never noticed any problems. I am running FF 3.5.6 and spell-check works fine for me, even here.

Works for me. On all versions of firefox that I’ve had.

I use Mozilla Firefox and Fluther seems to work perfectly fine for me.

@StupidGirl Watch it! That link tripped the security suite on my PC!

Security suite? What’s that? :P

@StupidGirl The software I have that prevents malware from infecting my system. I’m not on Linux right now so I have to watch out for that sort of thing.
