Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
The context menu on spellcheck-flagged words provides suggestions when right-clicked, but not when the right-click button on the keyboard (between right-Windows-key and right-Ctrl) is used. Other gtk apps (Tomboy, gedit) don't do this, nor does Thunderbird, so I believe that this is not a gtk+ problem.
To reproduce: Open a textarea in Firefox. Type a misspelled word. Right-click on it, and observe the spellchecking suggestions. Now close the popup menu and move the cursor over that word. Hit the right-click button on the keyboard (between right-Windows-key and right-Ctrl).
What should happen: The spellchecking suggestions should appear in the context menu.
What happens: The spellchecking suggestions do not appear in the context menu.

I can confirm that in Launchpad (using this text area into which I am now typing), but it behaves as it should in GMail's compose option. At a first guess, is this difference linked to rich text area (as in GMail) vs. plain text area (as here)?
