Now I have read you comments in detail from a previous ticket it all makes sense.Will review and decide if we fund the project.

Note that by allowing the context menu to come back, we can also allow native copy&paste, which could be more useful than the copy/paste buttons in the CKEditor toolbar which are subject to JavaScript security restriction.

Thanks Jason for sponsoring this

Interestingly doing a lot more testing suggests Chrome handles the spell checking quite well.You simply right click on the words with squiggly lines and the Chrome spell checker shows the corrected word and corrects.

HOWEVER Firefox is awful and simply brings up the cut/copy/paste dialog box. If all browsers worked like Chrome it would be great...

Quick note, we need to update tutorial(s)/FAQ when this change is made.

This is now implemented, and I'm very happy with the result :). Simple and effective. Works on Safari/Firefox/Chrome/IE10/IE11 (IE9 doesn't support native spellcheck).

Here's a quick screencast:

Jing jumped the record frame about a bit near the end, try and ignore that. You'll get a sneak peak of v10 though.

I am considering whether we should release this as a part of a v9 patch release.
