Public bug reported:

After installing the 1:24.0+build1-0ubuntu0.12.04.1 (precise-updates)
update to Mozilla Thunderbird on 12.04, the "Spell check as you type"
feature no longer works.  Downgrading to 11.0.1+build1-0ubuntu2
(precise) restores the functionality.

Steps to reproduce:
* Open a new message.
* Verify "Options->Spell Check As You Type" is selected
* Type something like "check my spleling please" in the body of the message

Expected Result:
* spleling should be underlined in red and when right-clicked offer correction 
options

Actual Result:
* No words are underlined to indicate mispellings were found. Right-clicking on 
"spleling" shows the standard context menu. Toggling the spell check as you 
type option has no effect. Click the "Spelling" button, however, does lauch the 
spell checker and identify the mispelled word.

Downgrading to 11.0.1+build1-0ubuntu2 (precise) restores the check as
you type functionality.
