Created attachment 183491 [details]
odt covering error, hrdware and software used.

Summary: Auto spellcheck has not been working since before the installation of 7.4.x; in fact, it has not been working since updating from 6.4.x. Moreover, it has not worked on 2 different machines: this new Mac Mini M1 and the iMac purchased in 2015. 

With Auto Spell Checking selected even when I make a spelling mistake that mistake is not highlighted, nor are any suggestions prompted. I must manually select Tools > Spelling to do a spell check. See Evidence below.

I do not reproduce this in

Version: 7.4.2.3 / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 40(Build:3)
CPU threads: 16; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: kf5 (cairo+xcb)
Locale: pt-BR (pt_BR.UTF-8); UI: en-US
Ubuntu package version: 1:7.4.2~rc3-0ubuntu0.22.04.1~lo1
Calc: threaded

Maybe this is MacOS related?

Hi David

Could you please:
- Test in safe mode, to see if it is related to your profile: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile#Help_wizard_.28LibreOffice_5.3_and_newer.29
- Give us the exact version information from Help > About LibreOffice

Thank you!

Looking at the screenshot, it looks like a high zoom level is used.
I think it's a duplicate of bug 153223, and I'm marking as such, but David: can you please confirm that this depends on the zoom level, i.e. that the red lines come back at a lower zoom level?
