I was able to replicate this. I am not sure if it is a bug though, because I believe spell check is generally disabled in read only mode. Version: 24.8.2.1 (AARCH64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 0f794b6e29741098670a3b95d60478a65d05ef13 CPU threads: 8; OS: macOS 14.5; UI render: Skia/Metal; VCL: osx Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded

Checked in: Version: 25.8.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 08e40accb3fabe676746c40797efc20eaa218801 CPU threads: 14; OS: Windows 10 X86_64 (build 19045); UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: hu-HU (hu_HU); UI: en-US Calc: threaded The spell checking underlines the misspelled words in the editable section, and the Spelling dialog can be opened and used to fix the mistypings. Improvement idea: allow context menu to have spelling suggestions.
