Bug Description

Binary package hint: epiphany

In Epiphany 2.28.0 if you enable the spell checker misspelled words show up with a red underline. In all other apps right clicking on the word shows suggestions, but not with epiphany. With epiphany you have to first highlight the word; even worse, picking one of the suggested words causes the word you were attempting to spellcheck to be erased and not replaced with the suggested word you selected.

That's right, I'm saying that spell check in epiphany operates as a delete button and that's it. This is very easy to recreate just misspell a word, enable spell checking in the right click menu, click show spelling and grammer(this too is a bug because you only have to do it once and the spell check should be enabled by ticking the enable spell check box), misspell word, highlight it, right click it, and select suggested word.
