Bug Description

Binary package hint: epiphany-browser

In, for example, this field I'm typing in right now, most of the words are red-underlined.

"for", "right", "most", "are" and "red" are not underlined.

I have tried this with en_US and en_GB, both have the same behaviour. I am unable to try this with firefox due to bug #63798.

It's because epiphany isn't compiled with --enable-spell-checker
