Comment(by 112502):
Actually, no. It's hit or miss which browsers that it "automatically"
starts in. In Firefox, it's broken when it automatically starts, and not
working at all. Thus, for "browser consistency," turning off the Auto-
Start made complete sense, especially given that the spell check actually
WORKS when you hit the button.
I wish some of you had just answered the funtionality question --- "is it
supposed to auto-check? Or are you supposed to hit the button?" from five
months ago --- instead of being so ridiculously pedantic about it now.
Because, well, even still --- it's never been answered, and from a Dev
perspective, it's something that ''needs'' to be addressed, rather than
just voting it off the island.
Basically, this has gone way off topic. Blame whatever ... meanwhile,
there's a valid fix there that makes it work on every browser out there.
But oh well. *shrug*
