Spellchecker bug

Given the following post of a quote tag and a one liner.

Quote:

this

Double-decker squirel toot toot!

When "squirrel" is misspelled with only one r, you can go to the spellchecker and select the right one. However, when you hit preview, it gives this:

Quote:

Double-decker sqsquirreloot toot!

But if you remove the quote tag, it doesn't do it. It seems to be off by two characters or something to that effect.

But I won't look into it unless you can supply a sample text that always triggers the problem on a given browser / operating system combination.

Aforementioned problem always occurs on my XP box running Firefox v1.5.0.4.

[edit] Safari 2. Looks OK but the first time I did it, I swear it just deleted all my post.

When I was writting my last thread I had the same problem with the word "written" in the last line. I wrote it with only one "t" and Spell Check changed it by wwrittenen or similar (I can't remember now).

Using Kubuntu + Firefox 1.5 here though.
