Description Silenio Quarti CLA 2012-03-12 11:58:07 EDT 
On Firefox, the spellcheck attribute is not respected for contentEditable DIVs. The only way to disable spell checking on the text view is by adding the attribute to the body element of the page.  Other browsers like Chrome and Opera 
properly respect the attribute. IE does not do spell checking.

This became an issue since we removed the IFRAME.

Here is the mozilla bug for a reference:

Closing this one as there is nothing we can do about it other then wait for the fix in Firefox.
