Re: [orca-list] misspelled indicator

[kendell clark <coffeekingms gmail com>]

hi
My nvda experience isn't as thorough as other people on this list, but I 
have noticed that nvda reports spelling errors in thunderbird when 
composing a message. I'm not sure if it does when only reading it, but I 
suspect not. My main complaint with it isn't nvda, but rather whatever 
dictionary of words windows 7 uses. It reports a ton of things 
misspellings, some that probably are my horrible typing but some, like 
linux, ubuntu, that kind of thing, when they are not. I've never seen 
orca report misspellings, even though it's supposed to have support for 
them. Anyone know how this works and under what circumstances? I have 
the enable misspelling indicator option checked in the preferences. 
Could this be another gui item that's not hooked up to the underlying 
code, like progress bar beeps?
Thanks
Kendell clark
