Firefox's check spelling not working correctly

Description

Firefox's in-built check spelling feature does not work correctly when writing a new message.

Steps to reproduce

• Type an incorrectly spelt word in the "Send a message" field
• Observe that no red curly line appears below the word

A work-around seems to be if you change to another tab, then change back again, the incorrectly spelt word is correctly highlighted.

Version information

• Platform: web
• Browser: Firefox v65.0
• OS: Linux (Debian testing)
• URL: riot.im/develop (674b8c3-react-b19a1a018871-js-03a54353be98)

Is this still an issue for you in the new composer?

As of Riot version v1.5.13 and using Firefox v72.0.2 (64-bit) (Linux) this seems to be working now.
