I don't think so.  At the end of morpheme boundaries, short s might be
used (at least in German), so I'd not be surprised by 'dissolve'
written with long s+short s.  But I am quite sure that 'necessary' was
usually written with double long s.

Also see The Internet, which is never lying:

'dissolve' also has double long s in that text.
