BUG + FEATURE: Single-line Textbox Spell Checking
BUG + FEATURE: Single-line Textbox Spell CheckingOpera has a spell check bug:
Even though "Check Spelling" is enabled in the right click menu of a single-line textbox, Opera does not check spelling in that single-line textbox.
Why show this irrelevant option inside of a single-line textbox right click context menu?
Here is the new feature proposal:
Add a new opera:config spell check option for single-line textboxes.
When enabled, Opera will check spelling inside of single-line textboxes.
Firefox has had this feature for a long time since version 2:
about:config > Change "layout.spellcheckDefault" to 2
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Layout.spellcheckDefault
EDIT:
I reported this as bug DSK-297182.
For me, spell-check is working in single line text boxes, e.g. in the search field at the top of this page.

EDIT:
Oh, it is not enabled by default.
It seems that the spell check only checks spelling when it is disabled and then re-enabled (has to be done every time for each single-line textbox).

It is still a bug. Why show a checkmark for "Check Spelling" when it doesn't even check spelling?
As an option, I want it to be always enabled for all textboxes like in Firefox.
