I just had my first attempt at using Impress, so I selected one of the default themes and started typing. After all text got the red squiggly lines (including the default "click on.." text), I went into the language settings and set the language for the whole document to Scottish Gaelic, which is also my user interface language. The squiggly red lines remained until I retyped the text, or until I saved and reloaded the file. Switching between slides does not make a difference. So, it looks like the following is happening: 1. The language isn't initialized from the UI language, but set to something else (Default English? Operating system Language?) 2. The spell checker does not immediately recheck the text on screen after a language change, while the properties for the text elements have been correctly updated. 3. Typing new text works fine after the language has been set.
Thank you for reporting the bug. it seems you're using an old version of LibreOffice. Could you please try to reproduce it with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/ ? I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' if the bug is still present in the latest version.
I'm sorry, but I won't be updating LibreOffice again until https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=106990 is fixed.
Oh, and I forgot to mention: When adding a new slide, the problem comes up again. So, for proper spellchecking, one has to duplicate an existing slide and work from there.

Can you test by going to Tools - Options - Lang. settings - Languages: Default languages for documents and making sure "For current document only" is not checked?
Yes, that was set to the wrong language, and changing that fixed it. Since I have been using LibreOffice for a long time now, I can't remember if I ever touched that setting - it should match the chosen interface language on first run? But I guess that's an installer bug then.
Cheers, let's close.
