In LibreOffice 3.5.4.2 (german version) it seems the spellchecker does not work anymore. I wrote the following into Writer: Bratwurst die Bratwurst die bratwurst die braaatwurst die Bralaaatwurst Nothing of these words are marked as wrong. The spellchecker does nothing. Autokorrektion seems to work, because if you write bratwurst LibO change it to capitalized "Bratwurst". Can someone confirm this behavior?

@all: I am pretty sure that your problem will disappear when you rename your user profile before you start LibreOffice. Can you confirm that? May be a developer can find out the reasons for the problems with your old user profile (if my suspect is correct), so please keep you old user profile.
I've installed the german 3.5.4 version on several different XP-32bit (4GB) computers. The german spell checking don't work anymore. If I reinstall 3.5.3, it works again. I've found an annoying behaviour on fresh 3.5.4 installs. I think, it could be one cause of the spell checker failure. At the first start 3.5.4 quits without any error message on every of my XP systems. You will see the LO splash screen with some inits and when it quits. After a second start LO works normally with the selection window (Writer, Calc etc.). I think, the init processes aren't complete at the first start.
I could reproduce a test case where only the bundled French dictionary (dict-fr) has been enabled (instead of all selected/installed bundled dictionaries: dict-de, dict-en, dict-es, dict-fr, dict-it, dict-pt, dict-pt). Test case (on WinXP 32b): - First start of LibO 3.5.4.2 with the LibreOffice user profile of LibO 3.5.3.2 (the same selected/installed bundled dictionaries as above; works fine with v3.5.3.2). - LibO Splash screen quits quite early. - A second or third start will not enable the missing dictionaries (although they are shown in Extension Manager). That has been resolved by synchronizing/enabling the bundled extensions once again: - Close LibreOffice (+ Quickstarter, if enabled). - Select the folder 'bundled' in LibreOffice user profile; path: ...\LibreOffice\3\user\extensions\bundled. - Rename the folder 'bundled' to 'bundled_old'. - Restart LibreOffice (maybe you need to start it twice due to bug 43989). Please could you try this workaround in order to distinguish between different causes.
This bug is also affecting English(USA) text by not marking wrong text in LibO Writer. Practically does nothing for Spellcheck even with manual activation of AutoSpellcheck button on Menu bar after having set and configured Tools, Options, Language Setting, Languages and Writing Aids. Have purposely type in wrong English spelling to see if it works (eg. wqrd instead of word) and it doesn't mark or highlight the mistake.... Thank You.
@manj_k: Your description sounds similar to problems I also had some time ago with a Master build using an existing LibODev Profile (2012-April) The problem still is reproducible for me with that old User Profile and with "LibreOffice 3.6.0alpha1 German UI/Locale [Build-ID: 66f01b5] on German WIN7 Home Premium (64bit). This problem disappears for me with workaround as per your Comment 8. What ever that might tell concerning the roots of the problem.

I have tried the workaround from comment 8 and the spellcheck works again, now. After rename of the folder "bundled" to "bundled.old" i had to restart LibreOffice twice (at the first start the LibreOffice Splashscreen appears, the last text i could read was something like "Enabling WikiPublisher", after this the Splash disappear and nothing happens. I start LO a second time and then it starts up and i chose writer. The spellchecker in german works out-of-the-box! The workaround solves the issue with the spellchecker for me, thanks a lot manj_k ! The cause seems indeed to be a regression while the first start of LO after an upgrade. Hopefully it will be fixed in Libo 3.5.5 soon.

Have been trying to get to the workaround as detailed in Comment 8 by manj_k, "- Close LibreOffice (+ Quickstarter, if enabled). - Select the folder 'bundled' in LibreOffice user profile; path: ...\LibreOffice\3\user\extensions\bundled. - Rename the folder 'bundled' to 'bundled_old'. - Restart LibreOffice (maybe you need to start it twice due to bug 43989)." but still couldn't find the folder to rename. I've hunt all over the directories and sub-dir of LibO 3.5 as per path below:- C:\Program Files\LibreOffice 3.5\.... but couldn't find the user profile and the its folder???? Full path leading to this folder is highly appreciated. Thanks and regards.

Thank you all very much, especially manj_k, and rainer bielefeld for pointing me in the right direction of renaming the bundled folder. I forgot that the C:\... AppData\Roaming Folders are hidden folders. Now LibO writer works perfectly with spellcheck working great. Maybe you great guys can have this bug fixed in the next version. Cheers and regards to all.

Changed status to 'NEW' (problem is reproducible, a workaround repeatedly tested and confirmed). Changed component to 'Installation' (seems to be a problem with synchronizing/enabling the bundled dictionaries). Added Caolán McNamara to CC List (somehow similar to bug 37195).
I think that problem may go away, when fix for bug #43989 lands in 3.5.5. It will be worth to test it in RC1.

(In reply to comment #18) > I think that problem may go away, when fix for bug #43989 lands in 3.5.5. It > will be worth to test it in RC1. That seems to be true. The bug is no longer reproducible (different user profiles applied) with LibO 3.6.0beta1 (Build ID: 1f1cdd8) on WinXP 32b. Waiting to check 3.5.5 RC1.
OK. When only 3.5.5 RC1 will be available for tests, I'll test it on some different machines with different configurations, and I'll let know about results of all that tests.
*** Bug 50887 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
This bug is no longer reproducible (for me; on WinXP 32b) with LibO 3.5.5 RC1 [LibreOffice 3.5.5.1 · Build ID: c9944f7-48b7ff5-0507789-54a4c8a-8b242a8]. Installed as 'server image' (msiexec /a), with all bundled dictionaries. Created [bootstrap.ini]: UserInstallation=$SYSUSERCONFIG/LibO-35-5/3. Verified with pasted backup copies of customized LO user profiles v3.4.6/v3.5.3/v3.5.4 (upgrade simulation). Started via soffice.exe (bug 43989 did not occur). All bundled dictionaries available (tested languages: ~25).
Thanks for testing. It works for me, too. The fix for bug #43989 fixed this, too.

May I suggest to change the summary of this bug? The problem is not that spelling errors are not marked; instead the problem is that required linguistic components are not installed or found (as described in bug 51395).
*** Bug 50410 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Target due to "Bug 43989 - After installation first launch terminates after splash screen", because it seems that fix for that Bug seems to have fixed this one
