What messages are posted if you run LyX from the command line as
$ lyx -dbg gui
I'd expect to see things like:
created pspell
killed pspell
telling me that LyX is using the LibPSpell interface to ASpell rather than
the stand-alone ISpell-like executable that is guaranteed not to work with
LyX/Win.
I'd also expect to see the more general:
spell setParams
spell clearParams
spell startSession
startSession: speller exists
spell endSession
endSession with no speller
spell check a word
Updating spell progress.
Found word "<WORD>"
Found a word needing checking.
