Title:
  Libreoffice spelling & spellcheck problems - has no red underlines for
  misspelling

Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  libreoffice has no red underlines for misspelled words. Restarting
  worked once but isn't working now.

  1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or System -> About Ubuntu
  Description:	Ubuntu 11.04
  Release:	11.04

  2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy
  pkgname' or by checking in Software Center

  ~$ apt-cache policy libreoffice
  libreoffice:
    Installed: 1:3.3.3-1ubuntu2
    Candidate: 1:3.3.4-0ubuntu1

  3) What you expected to happen

  Expected that if a word is misspelled or unfamiliar to it's
  vocabulary, that it will have a red underline, so I will be able to
  tell and fix it.

  I have not been able to right click and add to it's vocabulary.

  Tools - Spelling and Grammar - [Continue checking at beginning of document?] [Yes] [No] - clicking Yes,
  I get [The spellcheck is complete.] [OK] - click OK.. 
  but there are no word in Not in dictionary  and nothing got checked. 

  
  4) What happened instead

  There are no underlines, my misspellings and typos don't show up. 
  Tools > Spelling & Grammar does nothing. 

  I couldn't update vocabulary when the red underlines did work.

  I almost sent a a legal document with  
  "Appeal the opinionss expressed"  - in the top line!
