Spelling correction hides the incorrect word

Reported by vanantwe...@gmail.com, Mar 12 2016

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/50.0.2661.11 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Consider yourself in the situation where you are typing something with some spilleng mistakes. 
2. Try correct this by doing right mouse click on this word
3. Try finding out what you typed wrong so you can learn from this the next time

What is the expected behavior?

What went wrong?
 - The right mouse click dialog hides the word which is typed incorrectly.
 - Spelling corrections are in multiple languages without mentioning which one
 - The corrections and the actual wrong word are very far apart (if the wrong word is at the bottom of the screen)

Did this work before? No

This is very important for people with dyslexia and dysorthography as we already have problems with reading/writing/typing.

It would be nice if the popup would show something like: Replace 'spilleng' by:
 - spelling
 - Add to dictionary
 - ...

+ Move the right mouse click popup to either above/below the current line, so you can read the context of the word
