How to use browser spell check in HTML fields?

Hello. After our upgrade to Tokyo, we noticed that we cannot properly use spellcheck on HTML fields.

This KB article mentions that SNOW no longer provides its own spell check and users must rely on the one from their client-side browser. That's fine, but it only works for journal fields and not HTML. 

 

So for example, if I misspell a word entered in a work note, the red squiggly line appears and when I right-click the context menu has spell check options from my browser (see attached screenshot). But If I misspell it in  an HTML field, while the red squiggly line does appear, right-clicking only shows a Link option!

 

Anyone have a solution to this?
