I've run across a weird spell check problem with one of my iMac's. I did some searching but couldn't find anything that worked.

Problem: When typing in a field, misspelled words show up with the red underline. When you right click to look for suggestions, there are no suggestions. If I tune on auto correct, it will successfully auto correct.

All of my other macs seem to work fine. It's been happening since I upgraded this one to Snow Leopard.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
 
I figured it out and thought I'd put the solution here in case anyone else runs across this issue.

The "Click to Flash" Plug-In for Safari fixes whatever is causing the word suggestions from being shown. I may do a little more research to try and understand why but for now it's fixed.

Just google "Click to Flash" if you need to download it.
