Problems with Microsoft Edge Version 83.0.478.61

Edge on Win10 recently updated to the version mentioned above (Official build / 64-bit). After the update the spell checker is not functioning properly...  Not surprisingly it's the same problem I had with Chrome Browser.

When using the short (quick) editor the spell checker makes suggestions on right mouse click.  When using the full screen (long) editor, the spell checker does not make spelling correction suggestions on right mouse click.

With the previous (old) version of Edge the spell checker functioned correctly.  With other apps the spell checker works correctly.  I only have the problem when using WatchProSite full screen editor.
