Description

Summary: OSX Native spellchecking not respected. When I'm writing in the description of a focalboard card, if i misspell a word and it does the red underline, and then if i proceed to right click on it to select the correct spelling, the content doesn't update with the new correct spelling.. instead its ignored.

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to a cards description and misspell a word, once its underlined in red
  2. Right click on the red underlined misspelled word, and select the correct option

Expected behavior: The word would update with the correctly spelled word.

Observed behavior: The word remains the original incorrect spelling.

Platform:

  • Browser and version: Latest version of chrome
  • OS and version: Latest version of OSX on my macbook

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the event handler for right click and spell check correction in the card description editor. Look for where the contenteditable element handles input events and why the selected correction does not update the content.
