v31.5.0 on Mageia 4 (updated as of today).

I dont know if this is the same thing but....

Trying to edit the dictionary. Some words that are obviously wrong in
the composition being checked but are not flagged as "wrong" by the
spell checker - suggesting that the bad spelling got into the
dictionary. But opening the dictionary doesnt reveal these words... and
in particular one word that is now never flagged up as wrong but is also
not (erroenously) in the dictionary is "teh" (meaning that I have to do
a search-and-replace of "teh" to "the")....  struggling to get anything
more defintive from the symptom and I'm nowhere near a diagnosis - but
this did start quite promptly on instaling 31.5.0 - just upgraded to a
new machine (old one had several vesions back) and this started when the
updates were finally all in during the machine build - btw on the
verison that came in with  the Mageia 4 distro this appeared not to
manifest.

Might get to learn to spell properly mind ...

Title:
  Thunderbird "Spell check as you type" stopped working after update to
  1:24.0+build1-0ubuntu0.12.04.1 (precise-updates)

Status in Mozilla Thunderbird Mail and News:
  Invalid
Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  After installing the 1:24.0+build1-0ubuntu0.12.04.1 (precise-updates)
  update to Mozilla Thunderbird on 12.04, the "Spell check as you type"
  feature no longer works.  Downgrading to 11.0.1+build1-0ubuntu2
  (precise) restores the functionality.

  Steps to reproduce:
  * Open a new message.
  * Verify "Options->Spell Check As You Type" is selected
  * Type something like "check my spleling please" in the body of the message

  Expected Result:
  * spleling should be underlined in red and when right-clicked offer correction options

  Actual Result:
  * No words are underlined to indicate mispellings were found. Right-clicking on "spleling" shows the standard context menu. Toggling the spell check as you type option has no effect. Click the "Spelling" button, however, does lauch the spell checker and identify the mispelled word.

  Downgrading to 11.0.1+build1-0ubuntu2 (precise) restores the check as
  you type functionality.
