Spellcheck does not work. Nothing is marked incorrect. Checked using both 
Canadian and US
language setting. Changed my user profile to the one I'm using with 4.1.7. 
Still didn't work.

The initial check: does the chosen language show in the middle of the status 
bar?

Yes. It is English (Canada).

In extension manager: "English spelling, hyphenation dictionaries and thesaurus 
2020.07.01"
installed.

In Preferences/Language Settings/Language: Language of/Locale setting: Default 
- English (Canada)


Aha: Here's the problem:

In Preferences/Language Settings/Writing Aids/Available language modules: No 
spellcheck modules
listed.

In AOO 4.1.7 I have Hunspell SpellChecker & Mac OS X Spell Checker listed

If I copy my user profile from AOO 4.1.7 into AOO Dev-m2 I still have no spell 
checkers. listed.
I'm not into the OpenOffice code, but am asking questions answers to which I 
have learned from Forum are helpful.  I presume hunspell is (or ought) be 
installed on your Mac.  in linux,
"locate hunspell" in a terminal shows its locations. Can you confirm, with a 
Mac equivalent command, if hunspell is installed on your Mac, and its locations?  The 
problem is possibly the incorrect configuration of a file path in the code.

Since spellcheck works in AOO 4.1.7 that word indicate that hunspell is installed on my Mac. I checked in terminal and confirmed it is installed.


I also tried Dev-m2 on my production MacBook Pro running macOS 10.14 Mojave. (I have macOS 10.15 Catalina on this MacBook Pro) to check if it was a compatibility problem with the latest macOS.
