Public bug reported:

libreoffice has no red underlines for misspelled words. Restarting
worked once but isn't working now.

1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or System -> 
About Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 11.04
Release:        11.04

2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy
pkgname' or by checking in Software Center

~$ apt-cache policy libreoffice
libreoffice:
  Installed: 1:3.3.3-1ubuntu2
  Candidate: 1:3.3.4-0ubuntu1
  Version table:
     1:3.3.4-0ubuntu1 0

Packages
 *** 1:3.3.3-1ubuntu2 0

     1:3.3.2-1ubuntu4 0

3) What you expected to happen

Expected that if a word is misspelled or unfamiliar to it's vocabulary,
that it will have a red underline, so I will be able to tell and fix it.

I have not been able to right click and add to it's vocabulary.

Tools - Spelling and Grammar - [Continue checking at beginning of document?] 
[Yes] [No] - clicking Yes,
I get [The spellcheck is complete.] [OK] - click OK.. 
but there are no word in Not in dictionary  and nothing got checked. 


4) What happened instead

There are no underlines, my misspellings and typos don't show up. 
Tools > Spelling & Grammar does nothing. 

I couldn't update vocabulary when the red underlines did work.

I almost sent a a legal document with  
"Appeal the opinionss expressed"  - in the top line!
