The problem still occurs. The issues on this topic are indeed numerous; at best, one should revise the entire spell check dialogue for accessibility. The function is an important tool to keep control over one's own work; without the possibility to check one's own spelling, this is unfortunately not guaranteed.

Thanks for the update. Closing as WORKSFORME. Changing the state via the keyboard is tracked in tdf#135921 (s. more details there, I've just submitted 2 changes to implement that).
