User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040626 Firefox/0.9.1 Build Identifier: Mozilla Thunderbird version 0.7.1 (20040626) This is a very strange bug, and hard to describe. I was typing an e-mail to a friend and when I did a spell check, it only did a spell check on a portion of the word (in this instance, the 'yped' from typed). Do the spell check again and the problem is gone! Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. Close down Thunderbird if you have any open sessions. 2. Open Thunderbird, and go directly to the compose mail screen. 3. Type in an e-mail address in the To: field, one that is already in the address book. 4. Type in a subject with NO spelling errors. 5. Type in the body, with spelling error intact (without quotation marks) "Hey Laura, (I accidently typed Hey hun first.. gonna take a while to get used to this..) It's late." 6. Run the spell check. When it gets to accidently, type in the correct spelling, check the world, and click replace. 7. Notice the bug! Actual Results: It will highlight the 'yped' from the word 'typed' and report the yped as being a spelling error. Expected Results: Thunderbird should have ignored the word as there is no typographical error in the word 'typed'. I was using the default theme for Thunderbird, and also using the shell exploit xpi fix for Thunderbird (as opposed to downloading Thunderbird 0.7.2). VERY difficult to reproduce. I was able to reproduce the bug twice, but no more. I am running a Pentium 2.4C with HT enabled on an Abit IS7 with 1GB of GeiL PC3500 RAM. Nothing is overclocked, and there has been no instability noticed for quite some time. I am running Windows XP with SP1 and all hotfixes applied.

I've also seen this bug in TB version 1.0 (20041206) - here's a post I made on the forums website that talks about how to reproduce it: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=179660&highlight=

Sounds similar to bug 261930?
