APAR status

• Closed as fixed if next.

Error description

• Issue with spell check when using 9.0.1FP3. Spell check runs ok
  with the same info / content when sending from the 8.5.3FP5
  server.
  
  When sending an email with a spelling mistake in single quotes
  and with spell check on, the spell check seems not to work
  correctly, some buttons don't work as expected, i.e it will
  stop at that word and not offer any suggestions and will not
  let you skip it. Customer has found that they have to cancel
  the send correct the mistake manually and only then will it
  send. eg 'refered'
  
  Scenario 1: On Domino Server 8.5.3 FP5
  You compose a new email (with spell checking before sending on)
  and in the text you have a spelling mistake enclosed in single
  quotes eg 'refered'. When you hit send the spell checker
  highlights the spelling mistake in yellow and offers
  suggestions to replace it. From here you can select replace,
  skip or send as is  and the email will be sent.
  
  Scenario 2: On Domino Server 9.0.1 FP3 (recently upgraded from
  8.5.3 FP5)
  You compose a new email (with spell checking before sending on)
  and in the text you have a spelling mistake enclosed in single
  quotes eg 'refered'. When you hit send the spell checker pops
  up and the cursor is at the beginning of the spelling mistake.
  It is NOT highlighted in yellow and it does not offer any
  suggestions to replace the word. If you select skip nothing
  happens and it seems to "stick" on the spelling mistake in the
  single quotes. You can send the email at this point if you
  select send as is or cancel the send and correct the spelling
  mistake manually.
  
  
  Issue seems to be the same as #JFEG57YCCE as it only occurs
  with Internet Explorer, and effects words after ', but as the
  issue did not occur in 8.5.3FP5 it may be slightly different.
  
  ====================================
  found SPR # TMEN5F5KDX -iNotesWA spell checker, ignores
  misspelt words in single quotes, and duplicates the words in
  double quotes.
  -> the double quotes issue was resolved in v5.0.12 but the
  issue with the word in single quotes remained. marked as no
  plans to fix in the v70 codestream.
  -> found tn
  http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21093617
  ===> Is the spell check designed to work on words enclosed in
  single quotes?
  ==========================
  
  Steps to reproduce:
  1. install 901
  2. install fp3
  3. install admin 901
  4. create an iNotes user
  5. log in as the iNotes user using Internet Explorer (e.g IE10)
  6. open the preferences -> "mail" tab -> general -> enable
  "Spell-check messages before sending" in the "Outgoing mail"
  section.
  -> "save and close"
  7. Test 1:
  created new mail:
  - added a recipient
  - added a subject
  - added text to the body e.g:
  this is a test
  refered
  'refered'
  -> selected send
  8. Spell check starts and statue bar shows "Spell check
  complete, 2 misspelled words found.  Right click a misspelled
  word for a list of corrections or use the buttons provided.
  (L_SPELLCHECK)"
  -> the first entry "refered" shows in yellow
  -> you can select skip.(selecting "replace" just replaces that
  first word and the mail is sent)
  -> it then seems to find the second entry 'refered' but it is
  not highlighted in yellow,
  ->the buttons dont seem to work as expected "skip", "skip all",
  "Add to dictionary", "replace all" do nothing.
  "edit dictionary" -> opens the dictionary (but there are no
  words in it)
  "replace" allows the mail to be sent but the word in the mail
  remains as it was.
  -> selecting "send as is" allows the message to send
  -> selecting "cancel send" allows the user to edit the mail
  
  (if you only have the one misspelt word in single quotes, the
  status bar will advise there is one misspelt word, but in the
  spell check section, it does not show what is misspelt, so does
  not give suggestions.
  However the misspelt word still shows with a red line under it,
  and if you right click on it, it will give you other options
  e.g referred, refereed, revered)
  
  Test 2:
  create a new mail with the following text with correct spelling
  / known words:
  this is another test
  test
  'test'
  => that sent without issue
  
  ---> so it seems that the issue might only be with words that
  are not in the dictionary /  known words.
  
  
  tTest 3: testing in Firefox:
  1. Did the same test as test 1, created new mail:
  - add a recipient
  - add a subject
  - add text to the body:
  this is a test
  refered
  'refered'
  2. select send
  ===> spell check starts, status bar shows: "Spell check
  complete, 2 misspelled words found. Right click a misspelled
  word for a list of corrections or use the buttons provided."
  and highlights the misspelt word: refered in yellow, the spell
  check section shows:
  not in dictionary: refered
  suggestions: revered
  -> selected skip
  -> the second entry 'refered' is then highlighted in yellow and
  offers a suggestion to the misspelling.
  ===> issue does not occur with Firefox.
  

Local fix

• (a) to use another browser other then IE
  (b) to first add the word to the dictionary
  (c) when using IE, the incorrect word will show with a red
  underline, right click on the word, it will give you other word
  options/ suggestions.
