Description Richard A Blaine 2014-09-29 15:52:55 UTC
Problem description: 
Neither manual nor auto spellcheck works in writer or calc. I have not tried other components.  I am running Vista Home 64.  I am using the default installed dictionaries.

Steps to reproduce:
1. select manual or auto spell check
2. mispell one or more works
3. look for "misspell indicator"  if manual or press F7 to run spellcheck. 

Current behavior:
No indication of mis spelled words

Expected behavior:
curley red line below mis spelled words

NOte that spell check works properly in this module (Bug submission assistant)

              
Operating System: Windows (other)
Version: 4.3.0.4 release
Last worked in: 4.2.6.2 release

I am reopening this bug report as a result of further investigation.  Also note that I have not restarted my system in the past week or so since my original bug report on this subject.

Spell check works properly for files (writer and calc) which were created using version 4.2.6.2 or earlier under version 4.3.0.4.  Spell check does not work for files created under version 4.3.0.4.

NO REPRO with LO 4.3.2.2. When I type 'ffool' in Writer, the word is underlined with a red 'squiggle'.

Richard: Did you reset your UserProfile, as tommy suggested?
I'd also try our latest release and see if the problem is present there:
https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If you're still experiencing the problem after those changes, please make a note and change the status back to 'UNCONFIRMED'.

Thanks!

10/20/14 Back from vacation.
Installed LO 4.3.2.2 and ran tests with following results.

1) Create new spreadsheet and document within LO 4.3.3.2.2 - spell check works fine
2)Create new spreadsheet and document using NEW under Windows Explorer - spell check does NOT work.
3) Open existing spreadsheet and document which was created prior to LO 4.3.0.4 - spell check works.
4)  Open existing spreadsheet and document which was created within LO 4.3.0.4 - spell check does NOT work
5.  Open spreadsheet created under LO 4.3.0.4, copy and paste into spreadsheet created by LO 4.3.2.2 - spell check works.

I did not alter my user profile.

Bottom line - spellcheck works under LO 4.3.2.2,
