Description Bryan Quigley 2014-07-30 16:06:32 UTC
It's a common bug both here and on Ubuntu's bug tracker.  Users for whatever reason do not have any dictionaries installed, but spellcheck still runs fine checking nothing.

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=76238
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/997934

To reproduce I used a cloud instance, removed aspell and hunspell (using aptitiude), and did not install any of these packages:
libreoffice4.3-dict-en_4.3.0.4-4_amd64.deb
libreoffice4.3-dict-es_4.3.0.4-4_amd64.deb
libreoffice4.3-dict-fr_4.3.0.4-4_amd64.deb

Sounds like bug 76238 has proposed a similar remedy. Perhaps one of these two should be closed as a dupe of the other?

Status -> NEEDINFO

I'm fine with that solution, not sure which one to keep open though..

Bug 76238 is older, has more comments, and is already triaged to NEW, so that one seems like a reasonable choice, even if this bug is a bit more targeted to the specific problem.

Status -> RESOLVED DUPLICATE

Feel free to make a comment on that bug adding some of the links you provide below; it's very helpful to know that this is a common problem affecting multiple people.
