WTF doesn't Camino take advantage of OS X's free spelling service? Are these developers INSANE or are they all just perfect spellers?
I'm not a perfect speller, which means I have to use Safari or Omniweb if I want to post at a discussion forum without coming off as an illiterate 'tard. A web browser needs a spell checker, period.
Based on my talks with a few OS X developers, adding OS X's spelling service is easy, Easy, EASY! Do it!
I'm angry. Angry because I want to use Camino, because I feel it is a superior browser to Safari, but Safari keeps pulling me back in with its spell checking capability.
Thanks for listening to my rant - hopefully Camino developers read this stuff. Not to worry, next I'm off to submit a feature request to the Camino group for spelling services, and a bug report on broken spelling services! Heh.

Spell Check! - ARChid
The main reason Camino doesn't have spell checking, as far as I can understand, is that it still uses Mozilla's text fields rather than native OS X ones. They've said on the official forums that it's on the way, though!Monday, April 17 2006 @ 06:49 PM PDT

I totally agree. The main reason I use Safari is for the spell checker.Reply to This
