Hunspell-el is installed on my computer, and, as I mentioned in comment #11,
using the RPMs provided by Fedora, spelling works fine with it. It is with the
RPMs provided by LibreOffice that the problem occurs.

If I remember correctly, using hunspell is a modification to LibreOffice made
by Red Hat, so that they don't have to provide dictionaries with LibreOffice,
when they already provide hunspell. This is probably why spelling works with
the Fedora version of the LibreOffice RPMs: they don't use the LibreOffice
spelling code!

As I mentioned in my original post, the RPMs provided by LibreOffice provide
their own dictionaries, so I assume that they do not rely on hunspell; if they
do, there is definitely something wrong with the packaging! (In version
5.1.2.2, the Greek dictionary is provided by
libreoffice5.1-dict-el-5.1.2.2-2.x86_64.rpm and is installed in
/opt/libreoffice5.1/share/extensions/dict-el/.)

If you want to verify this bug, please try it on a Fedora system using Greek,
as it seems to be more of a packaging issue and Fedora-specific. If you don't
want to, or don't have the resources to do it, please leave the bug open, so
that we at least know that it is there.

As I mentioned before, I'll be glad to help test things and provide additional
information, if someone wants to have a look at the problem. Until then, it is
back to the Fedora-provided RPMs for me, even though I'll have to live with a
bug that seems to have been fixed in later versions of LibreOffice (current
Fedora comes with LibreOffice 5.0), and was the reason I gave the LibreOffice
version of the RPMs another try after all these years.
