I think that this bug can be closed. I had the same problem. But it was solved be redownloading ALL spell und suggestion files. See this answer: http://unix.stackexchange.com/a/88690/31673 for a detailed explanation. And see the question for the problem, which the users here also may have.

A word in the dictionary, like "Straße" (the German word for way) is known by dictionary and causes no problems. If a word not known like "Rosenstraße" is typed "Rosenstra" and "e" are underlined as unknown, but "ß" does not get underlined.
