Description: #33944 (https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/33944) seems to have resurfaced again. Perhaps a regression test issue? Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install an English dictionary as outlined in the work-around of the issue 2. Misspell a word in a Writer document 3. No red underline indicated a misspelled word Actual Results: No red underline indicated a misspelled word Expected Results: Misspelled word underlined Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: Yes Additional Info: A possible work-around for fixing this issue: Removing the extension folder from the Profile directory. The issue doesn't surface in safe-mode / newly created profile. More than happy to provide additional information as required.
(In reply to monochromec from comment #0) > The issue doesn't surface in safe-mode / newly created profile. So the issue is fixed with a profile reset and remains fixed afterwards? Is the following what you see? 1. Install LO 7.6.2.1, try spellcheck: it does not work. 2. Install the missing dictionary as a workaround: it still does not work. 3. Remove the user profile to start fresh: spellcheck works from now on.
The steps I tried: 1. Invoke Writer with an existing profile -> doesn't work 2. Starting writer in Safe Mode -> works 3. Starting Writer normally but removing the extension directory -> works Please note that the work-around only works for newly created documents; editing ones still exhibit the described issue. This also applies to Safe Mode where the issue can be reproduced with an existing document.
[Automated Action] NeedInfo-To-Unconfirmed
In https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/262764 You say "LO version is 7.6.0.3 running on OSX 14.0". However, you marked this report as Linux. This is most likely an issue with how you use nix packages and not LibreOffice. I just tested this on NixOS, adding to my systemPackages in /etc/nixos/configuration.nix: hunspellDicts.en-us hunspellDicts.en-us-large and LibreOffice 7.6.2 spell checks English just fine.
