Fix spelling corrections not working in RTE

Himanshu Kapoor requested to merge 419432-spelling into master

What does this MR do and why?

Fix spelling corrections not working in RTE

The cause

In the rich text editor, we use a custom selection plugin to show what text is selected. This is necessary so that selected text is visible even when the rich text editor is not in focus, for cases like adding a link to selected text.

However, right clicking a misspelled word would also trigger a selection. The browser would show spelling suggestions for the word, but due to the custom selection extension, that misspelled word has already been replaced with a to colour it in a selection colour.

This MR fixes it by preventing a selection from being triggered when you right click a word.
