VisualEditor: Spellcheck freaks out in Firefox when focusable nodes are focused
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

  • Open a document in a language that is not your default language, for example: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cumul_des_mandats_en_France?veaction=edit (if you're not French).
  • Assuming your browser does have a French dictionary, the article should have few to 0 red-underlined words.
  • Click on a [1] reference.
  • Observe suddenly almost every word is spellcheck invalidated by red lines
  • Moving the cursor by keyboard arrows still keeps them invalid.
  • As soon as you actually use the mouse to click for a cursor move, that is when it switches back to the correct language (or perhaps it disables spellcheck)

Not sure, but I think this is a regression.
