Description:
No matter what I do or how many downloads I've tried, the spell check will not work. everything works fine on Mint and Ubuntu on other computers I use, but on my older laptop running Lubuntu officelibre works great, but it will not spell check.  I have to type them, send then to another computer just to check the spelling.  I've checked all the setting looking at one computer to the other, and everything is exactly the same. but no spell check on Lubuntu. DEFAULT English USA is selected but no green check mark, and under spell check it says NONE under "test languages". I've done all i know to do.

Actual Results:
it just doesn't work.

Expected Results:
it doesn't work


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes

Additional Info:
work.

Can you see an English dictionary in your Tools > Extensions?
If not, have you tried:
- installing this dictionary? https://extensions.libreoffice.org/en/extensions/show/english-dictionaries
- installing the language pack from Ubuntu repos:

sudo apt install libreoffice-l10n-en-gb

If that still does not work, please install a version of LibreOffice that is still maintained, currently 7.6 or 24.2. Deb packages are on https://www.libreoffice.org/download/download/, alternatively use a PPA: https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/ubuntu/ppa
...and let us know if the issue persists.
