Error description

• Spellcheck causes RMC to hang when invalid html constructs are i
  n the Main Description
  
  RMC 7.5.0.1 ifix01
  
  I am attaching a sample plugin to illustrate the issue.
  
  Steps to reproduce:
  
  1. Open up sample plugin in RMC.
  2. Browse to task_2 and check the Main Description in html mode.
  
  3. You will see the contruct ?o:p?
  4. Right click on Content Packages and select Spell Check.
  5. The spell check window will appear, but RMC is now stuck. Non
  e of the buttons respond
  and you must forcibly kill the application from Task Manager.
  
  Workaround:
  
  1. Open up the Main Description in html mode.
  2. Perform a Default clean (clicking Default clean button in htm
  l menu).
  3. Try the spell check again - it will succeed and not cause a h
  ang.
