Comment 9 Justin L 2022-02-10 11:43:31 UTC 
This is marked as Windows only. I couldn't reproduce it with Ubuntu 20.04, so it really might just be Win-only. Please re-test with LO 7.3 or development dailies.
Comment 10 Buovjaga 2022-02-16 15:50:34 UTC 
Not reproduced anymore.

Btw. in the example document you need to first change the language for the whole doc to English (USA) for autocorrect to work.
