On a CRJ the handle is only for the manual deployment. There is no full deploy detent and it only actuates the flight spoilers. Manual deployment of the ground spoilers (as well as deactivation of auto deploy) is via a 3 position switch.
For some reason she has the flight controls page up on the right MFD and you can see the spoilers indicating deployed before she moves that handle.
