 Choosing a spelling suggestion is much more involved than similar
 functionality in program like Firefox/Tomcat/Word, etc.  The gold standard
 here is to click a word and the first elements in the popup menu are the
 spelling suggestions.

 To fix a spelling mistake requires the following steps:

 1) Right click to popup a menu
 2) Move the mouse to select the Spelling suggestion submenu
 3) Move the mouse to click the proper correction.

 It may not seem like much of an improvement to just right click and pick,
 but in practice it makes a huge difference.


 Ideally all the suggestions are in the topmost section of the popup menu.
 Perhaps if this list is too long, there can be a submenu for "More
 spelling suggestions"?
