This happened a while ago to me. I think I reinstalled, and it got better. The box kept changing colors spontaneously and locking up. I gave up and switched to debian. chalcedony

I could only recreate this situation purposely by clicking Tools -> Spelling and Grammar ... -> Options -> under User-defined dictionaries, check checkbox standard [All] -> highlight standard [All] -> under Options, uncheck checkbox Check spelling as you type -> click button OK -> click button Close. Is this the case for you? If not, how does one recreate this problem? Is this spelling problem correlated to any issue? lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 11.10 Release: 11.10 apt-cache policy libreoffice-writer libreoffice-writer: Installed: 1:3.4.4-0ubuntu1 Candidate: 1:3.4.4-0ubuntu1 Version table: *** 1:3.4.4-0ubuntu1 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric-updates/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 1:3.4.3-3ubuntu2 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric/main amd64 Packages apt-cache policy libreoffice-writer libreoffice-writer: Installed: 1:3.4.4-0ubuntu1 Candidate: 1:3.4.4-0ubuntu1 Version table: *** 1:3.4.4-0ubuntu1 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric-updates/main i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 1:3.4.3-3ubuntu2 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric/main i386 Packages lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu precise (development branch) Release: 12.04 apt-cache policy libreoffice-writer libreoffice-writer: Installed: 1:3.5.0~beta2-2ubuntu4 Candidate: 1:3.5.0~beta2-2ubuntu4 Version table: *** 1:3.5.0~beta2-2ubuntu4 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise/main amd64 Packages -- You received this bug notification because you are subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/871118 Title: Libreoffice spelling & spellcheck problems - has no red underlines for misspelling Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: 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 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty-updates/universe amd64 Packages *** 1:3.3.3-1ubuntu2 0 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 1:3.3.2-1ubuntu4 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty/universe amd64 Packages 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!
