Description dafadllyn 2025-05-21 19:39:57 UTC 
Description:
If the text language is set to ‘German (Switzerland)’, AutoCorrect incorrectly replaces ‘ss’ in certain words with ‘ß’, even though the letter ‘ß’ does not exist in Swiss Standard German. For example, ‘Grüsse’ is replaced with ‘Grüße’. However, the spell checker recognises ‘Grüße’ as incorrect and underlines it in red, suggesting the correct spelling ‘Grüsse’.

You need to remove this line from source code...

https://git.libreoffice.org/core/+/refs/changes/47/180047/3/extras/source/autocorr/lang/de/DocumentList.xml#123

May be also:

"Grüsse" > "Grüße"
"heiss" > "heiß"
