Return-Path:
Is there any way to turn off this "SimpleMDE editor", and go back to a regular text box? For me (and I suspect for others as well), the loss of the spell checker far outweighs the other improvements. Now I have to compose messages in a separate program and paste the text in, which means I don't ever get to use these improvements.

From https://sourceforge.net/p/forge/site-support/10975/ (that posting apparently failed to get anyone's attention there in the past week, so I'm cross-posting it here):
With yesterday's [2015-07-30] change to the message input form (i.e. the box I'm typing this into now), I find that my browser (Firefox 39) no longer invokes its spell-checker while I'm typing. If I right-click the text area, I still get "Check Spelling" as an option, but clicking that does nothing. The problem is apparently specific to this new form, because other input boxes (such as the one at https://sourceforge.net/support) still flag misspelled words.
Also, it's not specific to Firefox, or to newer browsers. I tested with Chrome, and with old installations of Opera 12 and Safari for PC, and found the same behavior in all of them.
