When I wrote "can type", I meant of course with the spellchecker working
in the language, assuming I have the right dictionary installed, without
the spellchecker trying to tell me that **all** my _words_ are _wrong_
and _everything_ has a _red_ _underline_, which is _quite_ _annoying_.
(Underline for illustration of the effect.)

It would be quite a pity to do all this work in this bug, and then the
spellchecker still assumes English, just because Gmail or Yahoo Mail or
RoundCube or whatever web app is in English. How would RoundCube know
which language I am writing the email in? I write emails (and text in
webapps) in multiple languages, so this logic as stated in comment 38
would render the fix here moot in such situations and keep the
spellchecker broken for all languages but one.

Title:
  Spell checking more than one language in Firefox

Status in Mozilla Firefox:
  Fix Released
Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: firefox

  After upgrading to Ubuntu 10.10 x64 with Firefox 3.6.10 I lost Firefox
  capability to spell check for multiple languages in text forms. This
  is very annoying as I use two or three different languages in a single
  form when composing emails for example, and also switch between
  tabs/firefox windows to fill out forms in different languages, and now
  I have to switch between dictionaries back and forth. Never was an
  issue before.

  There is a need to set up multiple dictionaries/languages to be used
  at once for seamless spell check on a text form. Am I missing
  something?
