new computer = no spell check

Then the squiggly lines will be active and you can right-click and choose the word you want. Of course, the great computer will offer you correctly spelled words that do not make any sense at all.

Just like a frickin computer.
When I right click on a word underlined with the red wavy I got what I said yesterday.

Copy
Search Googlle for XXX
Inspect element.

Today I get a whole set of choices starting at the top.

Just like a frickin computer.

Therapy,

Forget the video for a second.

CaptainBri and I posted two solutions that may work for you. Have you tried them yet?

Okay,

I'm trying to replicate your situation now.

Don't throw it out the window yet!

Could you possibly post another screenshot with the misspelled words and the right-click options?

Well, thanks for all the help everybody.

I have no idea why right clicking for the last few days suddenly changed after I started this thread.

But I do have a long history of weird stuff that no one has been able to explain.

I just hope it does not happen while navigating a channel at night with high winds, sick crew (with loaded weapons), dodgy engine, lots of traffic and a Chinese Rocna, requiring me to look at a paper chart after using a hand bearing compass!!!

OH WAIT! I don't have a sail boat right now - I'm good.

Please, don't give up yet! I'm trying to build up some karma for when I cast my lines into the marina and start dilly-bopping to and fro. What do I do when I reach into my port locker, and there is only chardonnay left, for instance? Stick with me man..we can fix this..maybe..

Nope, cause now it works like I am told it should.

That's a win in my book. Karma happy
