bug report with screenshots

The capability to add a new word to the dictionary, which was accessible in Version 7.3.7.2, has disappeared in version 25.8.0.0.alpha0+.

In order to reproduce:
======================

Write some text with some words unknown to the dictionary.

Right click on a red underlined word.

Result:
=======

No choice to add to the dictionary.

Expected Result:
================

Some choice to add the misspelt word to the dictionary (of the word's language).

For details see attached report with screenshots.


Side finding:
=============

The irregular verb spell - spelt - spelt (where "spelled" also is a legitimate form of the latter two, but I prefer it as I have learned in school) is flagged false in the two latter forms. I think, its cousin misspell also conjugates like spell: misspell - misspelt - misspelt. If I am right, they also should be accepted (probably with a single and a double "l" in the middle).
