Description of problem: Spell-checking while typing a new message, and the placement of the caret, does not work when Pango is disabled. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): thunderbird-1.5.0.9-7.fc6 How reproducible: Everytime I un-comment the MOZ-DISABLE-lines in /usr/bin/thunderbird Steps to Reproduce: 1. Uncomment the MOZ-DISABLE-lines in /usr/bin/thunderbird 2. Start thunderbird 3. Write a new mail 4. Do some typing errors, try to move the caret backwards, forwards Actual results: Typing errors are not highlighted though they should, and the caret does not follow the movements of the left/right arrows. Expected results: Errors highlighted and a caret that follows the arrow keys. Additional info: Perhaps related with http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=227257
I also meet the caret problem on firefox-1.5.0.9-2.fc6 when pango is disabled.
Could fully reproduce with thunderbird-1.5.0.9-6 on RHEL 5?

probably related to this is a bug 227437?
Fedora Core 6 is no longer supported, could you please reproduce this with the updated version of the currently supported distribution (Fedora 7, 8, or Rawhide)? If this issue turns out to still be reproducible, please let us know in this bug report. If after a month's time we have not heard back from you, we will have to close this bug as CANTFIX. Setting status to NEEDINFO, and awaiting information from the reporter. [This is mass-filed message to all open Fedora Core 6 bugs related to Xorg or Gecko. If you see any other reason, why this bug shouldn't be closed, please, comment on it here.]
This works with Fedora7. The bug can be closed.
