Saft updated to 8.1.8, adds spell-check back to TextAreas!

Recently I noticed that my "check spelling as you type" preference was partially broken in Safari. The red squigglies still appeared to tell me that I'd misspelled something, but a right-click on that red squigglie no longer gave me the option to correct it inline by selecting the correctly spelled word from the contextual menu. My workaround was to use the "check spelling..." menu item instead, which at least brings up the spellchecker palette. I honestly couldn't remember when this feature magically stopped working, but it hadn't gotten annoying enough yet for me to investigate any further. This morning the good folks who bring us Saft admitted that they were the ones who broke my spellchecker! Fortunately they fixed it with version 8.1.8, which you can grab from  the Saft website. There are few pleasures as simply achieved as when a software developer fixes his own bug before I even know enough to blame him for it to begin with.
