Sorry Jorg K, I didn't realize that.  You just created the 1100966 bug report today so obviously I wasn't able to see it before.  From the description in this one, it sounded to me like this was the same issue.
I'll comment on the other bug report instead.

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:
  Confirmed
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.
