Spell check works in Libre Office sometimes then without changing any settings stops working. 
Java is installed and configured in the LibreOffice Advanced setting
I have noticed when it stops working that Default languages for documents Western setting has changed from English USA to English UK (although I had set it to English USA previously when spell check stopped workling)
Why does this setting seem to update on it's own? Once it is set it should stay set.

Hi, spell checking is depending on the language set on the Character style, so if you change the language (by copy and paste of some text most of the time) and if the spell checker of this language is not set in the style, it won't work. 
So to have a consistent behavior, set a character style or a paragraph style (F11) with the defined language you want to use and stick to that paragraph style. If you copy and paste text, use paste special (ctrl+shift+V) and paste without formatting. Set as Worksforme, if you're problem is not solved, please ask for more help on the users@ list or reset the issue on Unconfirmed. Sophie
