Document created from right-click context menu in explorer

Hello,

When I have a folder open in Windows Explorer, and I right-click in the folder to pull up the Windows context menu, and choose "New->OpenDocument Text" to create a Writer document, when I go to edit that document, neither Automatic Spell Checking, nor Tools->Spelling And Grammar work. Spelling And Grammar tells me that the document is fine, that there are no errors. I've tested this on a document filled with absolute nonsense.

However, everything works as expected if I create a new document from the LibreOffice Writer menu.

Windows 7, 64-bit. LibreOffice 4.4.3.2. 


I've attached an image showing that the autocorrect is active, and that a bunch of incorrect text is not underlined.




Side-note:
I came into the office today, created a new document, and the auto-correct issue suddenly appeared. Creating documents as described above is normal procedure for me, so this issue actually just appeared seemingly out of the blue. At the time, I was using a version of LibreOffice prior to 4.3.7, I don't remember which version though. When the issue arose, I upgraded to 4.3.7. The issue persisted through a reboot, and through deleting my LibreOffice folder under <User>/AppData. I decided to do a full uninstall of LibreOffice, and then install version 4.4.3.2. The problem persisted. HOWEVER, it wasn't until I had installed 4.4.3.2 that I noticed that there was no issue when creating a document from the LibreOffice Writer software. It is possible that the problem existed under the prior conditions, and is likely, but is unconfirmed.

Reproduced.

When created with context menu, it says [None] in the status bar for language. Have to click it and set lang for paragraph or Tools - Lang - For all text. Then spellcheck works.

I am unable to reproduce this bug, it works for me.  However, this bug might be the same as this similar spellcheck malfunction that happens in a more narrow set of circumstances:
