["Christopher M. Penalver" <christopher.penalver@xxxxxxx>]

Reuben Emmanuel (manueljoe), regarding your comments:

"However shouldn't this option be a default setting while installing the
OS itself?"

For all the tests previously mentioned, the default for "spelling as you
type" is checked. It seems you and chalcedony may have unchecked it
inadvertently. Otherwise, Launchpad would be flooded with bugs claiming
that the functionality is broken and/or asking for the default of
"spelling as you type" is checked.

Despite this, this bug report is being closed due to comment #9
regarding this being fixed with a configuration change. For future
reference you can manage the status of your own bugs by clicking on the
current status in the yellow line and then choosing a new status in the
revealed drop down box. You can learn more about bug statuses at

to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Please submit any
future bugs you may find.

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

Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

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!
