For Calc & Writer I find Spelling Dialogue freezes for many seconds at every stage (Correct/Ignore/Add to Dictionary)
Which operating system are you using? Set to NEEDINFO. Change back to UNCONFIRMED after you have provided the information.
I also experience this bug in LibreOffice Calc 5.3.0.3 (x64) under Windows 10. Symptoms are as described in https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=93586, which may make these the same problem, with the exceptions that I get this in Calc (it's not nearly as bad in Writer), and I'm using Arial for the font. I'm attaching the .ods I'm experiencing this on.
