Custom spelling dictionary too sensitive to letter case

Reported by filip...@gmail.com, Jan 30 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/56.0.2924.76 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Add a word written with only lower case letters to Custom spelling dictionary.
2. Type the word with the first letter capitalized or all caps.

What is the expected behavior?
The word should not be underlined in red.

What went wrong?
The word is underlined in red.

Did this work before? No 

Chrome version: 56.0.2924.76  Channel: stable
OS Version: 10.0
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 24.0 r0

Spelling dictionary should distinguish between words that require an upper-case letter, such as names, and all other words that are spelled with a lower-case letter, unless they are at the beginning of a sentence when they require an upper-case letter.

Tested the issue on Windows-7 and Windows-10 using chrome stable version 	56.0.2924.87 and canary 58.0.3017.0 with the steps mentioned in comment#0.
Observed the word with first letter capitalized and all caps are underlined in red.Same behavior observed in other browser too.(Firefox).
Seems the issue is not specific to chrome.

Thanks.

OK. But this is still wrong behavior regardless of whether it's present in other browsers. Adding a word to custom dictionary in any text processor results in correct behavior. I understand this issue is not priority but for anyone who works extensively with text in Chrome, especially in a language with a sub-optimal spelling support, it becomes an issue.
