Description:
After updating to LibreOffice 7.5.4.2. LanguageTool was disabled and could not be enabled again. An error message about grammar checking not enabled in the settings appears on every attempt, even when it enabled.

This seems to affect both the locally installed and the online version.

It used to work quite fine in the previous version.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Trying to access the LanguageTool setting in the Extras menu
2. Error message appears
3. Repeated selecting / unselecting / enabling / disabling / restaring does not fix it

Actual Results:
still does not work

Expected Results:
might take some time at startup by experience, but it does not work at all


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes

This puzzles me - can you elaborate, which "attempt" is meant that gives this problem? I.e., which specific actions (key presses, menu items, ...) result in this. Otherwise, it looks like a dupe of bug 155647, which is fixed for 7.5.5.

The error message pops up when I try to access anything from the Extras / LanguageTool menu.

Update: As I've seen now, it might be an issue with the JRE I did not have before and have to investigate. It did work just now for a short time.

So it looks like a co-incidence, with the JRE giving the LanguageTool extension error messages, and bug 155647 breaking all proofreading function *silently* (no checking will be performed, no errors marked, but no popups).

Let me mark it as a duplicate of the latter then.
