Spell checker feels broken because: 1) It does not highlight the words as it is checking 2) It does not gray out the "Word" text field to show done state
I also noticed that Netscape Mail compose window does not have a spell checker icon or a menu item.

hey guys, the first problem Bijal is reporting could be related to this bug 25096

Please add a completion plan date to the whiteboard. thanks, Jim (triage master) Roskind
As Sujay pointed out, in the original set of comments problem #1 is a duplicate of #25096. This bug is for problem #2. I am not sure if the PDT group intended for both parts to be PDT+ or not. Bug #25096 is already marked PDT- so I assume that the PDT+ is intended only for the graying out of the text field to show that it is done spellchecking. Removing PDT+ indication so PDT group can confirm my assumptions. Reassign to cmanske to fix problem #2

There's some discussion about exactly how to do this, so I'm reopening until the final decision is made. As of today, the dialog will automatically close if there are no more misspelled words found. This is what I suggested in the editor ng: 1. Close the dialog and return focus to previous location - no message. 2. Close the dialog and popup a message box saying "Spell checking is complete" [Note: this is what MS Word does, at least in Word97] [or maybe popup the dialog over the spell check dialog and dismiss both when user closes popup?] 3. Don't close the dialog, but change the "Misspelled word" label at the top of the dialog to "No more misspelled words were found". Gray out (disable) all widgets except the "Close" button, which the user must press to close the dialog.

New "Recheck" button added. After last word is found, message at top of dialog should say: "No more mispelled words found". All controls should be grayed out except for "Language" combobox, "Edit" dictionary, "Recheck", and "Close" buttons.
