Pale Moon forum

I have spotted few small issues thus far.

• Add Dictionaries... - context menu link doesn't work, nothing happens (e.g. when right clicking any editable text box).
• Preferences menu bar entry is not in the Tools menu instead in the Edit menu. ( really small one, but annoying after so many years of using it, and it IMO belongs to Tools menu, I'm not sure if this is moved also on the windows version of palemoon, didn't check )

Another issue is global behavior for linux. The right click context menu is shown on "mousedown" event and not on "mouseup" like it is on windows. This small difference brakes some addons for the mouse gestures. Is this something that the addon developer should fix?

Add dictionaries will not work if you installed it into a system directory (no write perms). Instead, use hunspell integration.
Seems that works in some places and not in others. The same bug also occurs in FF 24.2.0 ESR.

Prefs menu entry is in accordance to other GTK programs. It's the same way in Firefox.

And about the mouseup event, yeah, that's the responsibility of the addon devs (since you say its a global

I haven't yet found any place where it works, but it should open this page https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/language-tools

I see, I have just used windows too long. At least I'm not the only one, found this add-on today

I send a word to the add-on dev. To me it is odd that linux and mac prefer showing the context menu on mouse down.

Edit: renamed the topic to "small issues"

(As an aside: as a mod I better be careful. For the whole time I was thinking that I was replying while in reality I was editing jumba's posts. Fortunately, browsers have caches.)

I did a bit of testing, and found some really nasty bugs in the textarea context menu that occur in both Linux FF(24.2.0 - 30.0.a1) and consequently, PM(24.3.0 - 24.4.0b2) which aren't just limited to dictionaries (just go to jsbeautifier.org and right click upon the textarea).

I'll report it to BMO if I have time.
