Speeling correction fails to show correct list

Description markster 2021-04-02 15:48:40 UTC 
When typing and misspelled words in the document, the applicator will highlight
the wrong words. At this point when I right select the word there is no popup suggesting correct words. Using all default settings with proper language selected. Word completion shows correct listing but it should pop up on the right mouse click. It does not do it.

Markster, thank you for reporting the bug. Which version do you use? Please paste informations from Help > About LibreOffice. Second question: Which dictionary do you use?

Thanks for that information. Since I'm not using MacOS I hope, that somebody else can help.

And are you sure your text is English? I mean:

1. Select your text
2. Select menu Tools-Language-For all text-English 

I have no problem in

Yes, I am pretty sure. To test it agin I just upgraded to new 7.1.5.2 and verified that the language is set to English as per your comments.
​I misspelled "culture" word in a document. Double click the word "culure" and right clicked the word. I expected to see drop down list with proper suggested words. Instead I get the following.

Why did you do double click on the word? Just right click on the wrong word

Oooh... yes this is working if I only select the word as you said.
Thanks.
