Spell correction should use touch friendly context menus to display suggestions when entering text into text areas and inputs.

I know this is marked for V2, but I personally think having this in V1 would be very beneficial. "Spell Check" is a pretty commonly used feature in all instances (facebook, twitter, linkedin, community forums, commenting on blogs, IM Chats etc..) I think the user experience will diminish a bit if a user has to switch over to the desktop environment to double check if something is spelled correctly (or she/he can do a Google search to use the "did you mean this" feature but most basic users are not that advanced)

I think basic spell checking used to work, and I think this was to make it more touch friendly. Jim do you recall?

The red underline feature should be working. If not, I think it's a bug.

Yup, basic spell check is working and will highlight a word red if it's spelled incorrectly. What I meant in comment #3 is adding the other part of the feature so users can fix the spelling on the spot rather than using another source to find the correct spelling. Let's say a user is using Facebook/Twitter/Email and decides to post a status/email someone. He/She writes their status/email and notices that there's a few words underlined red. The user doesn't know how to spell some of those word so rather than just right clicking on the word and having a few options, the user will have to figure out another way to find the correct spelling which is really inconvenient.

Mass bug change to replace various 'parity' whiteboard flags with the new canonical keywords. (See bug 1443764 comment 13.)

We never shipped the metro support, closing!
