Windows: Spell checker not working, add support for WinUseBrowserSpellChecker
Original report by Salvador Diaz Fau (Bitbucket: salvadordf, GitHub: salvadordf).
What steps will reproduce the problem?
- Run cefclient.exe
- Load https://www.w3schools.com/tags/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_textarea
- Type some word with spelling errors in the TEXTAREA element like “yelow” and the word won’t be marked with a red squiggly line.
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Words with incorrect spelling should be marked with a red squiggly line underneath but it doesn’t add the red line to any word.
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
CEF 87.1.11 on Windows 10 64 bits
https://cef-builds.spotifycdn.com/cef_binary_87.1.11%2Bg8bb7705%2Bchromium-87.0.4280.66_windows64_client.tar.bz2
Does the problem reproduce with the cefclient or cefsimple sample application at the same version? How about with a newer or older version?
CEF 86.0.24 worked correctly and the incorrectly spelled words had a red line in cefclient.
Does the problem reproduce with Google Chrome at the same version? How about with a newer or older version?
I couldn’t test Chrome.
Additional notes :
- Using the “--lang” and “--cache-path” command line switches didn’t solve this issue.
- The %LOCALAPPDATA%\CEF\User Data\Dictionaries directory is created but cefclient doesn’t download the default english dictionary. However, the older cefclient (M86) downloads the english dictionary correctly.
