4.7.3: Spell Checker blocks editing when remote spell checker is offline

[berenddeboer]

When you go to "Check Spelling" and www.webspellchecker.net is unavailable, you get the dialog box saying "Spell Checker" in the title and the "Cancel" button at the bottom, and otherwise a blank page.

But the real problem is that you cannot close this dialog box.

There is a JavaScript error in the console:

  Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'setDisable' of null
    at Object.<anonymous> (wsc.js?t=H8DA:91)
    at CKEDITOR.dialog.n (ckeditor.js?oyees7:10)
    at CKEDITOR.dialog.CKEDITOR.event.CKEDITOR.event.fire (ckeditor.js?oyees7:12)
    at CKEDITOR.dialog.<anonymous> (ckeditor.js?oyees7:587)
    at CKEDITOR.dom.element.n (ckeditor.js?oyees7:10)
    at CKEDITOR.dom.element.CKEDITOR.event.CKEDITOR.event.fire (ckeditor.js?oyees7:12)
    at HTMLAnchorElement.<anonymous> (ckeditor.js?oyees7:64)

The fix would be to catch this error.

Apologies for not submitting the I suppose patch, as the uncompressed version doesn't work with my Drupal setup (Drupal 7 + wysiwyg module), and the compressed js is unreadable.

The problem is easy to verify: just add a line like 127.0.0.1 www.webspellchecker.net to your /etc/hosts file and you can demonstrate the problem.

@berenddeboer thank you for reporting. This is a WebSpellChecker issue and should be reported directly on their issue page - https://github.com/WebSpellChecker/ckeditor-plugin-wsc/issues.

Could I ask you to rereport it there?
