Bug Description

The spellchecker marks incorrectly spelled words with a red underline, which users recognize as an incorrectly spelled word. In every other app, you right click on that word to see the spelling suggestions. Users will not get suggestions in Midori this way, however, and will assume Midori does not suggest spelling corrections. To get suggestions, they must highlight that word and then right click it, which is not discoverable at all, and also a minor nuisance.

So is this no longer a bug in webkitgtk? Running epiphany web browser with the same system, spelling suggestions work.
