** Description changed:

  This has been the case since Beta 2.
  
  To reproduce:
  
  1) Type out a load of rubbish on the keyboard as well as a few correctly 
spelled words. I used "vmw;qbjk aoeuasnth aoeu house in the street"
  2) Press F7 to initiate the spell check.
  
  Actual Result: The spell check notifies the user of completion without any 
recognition of errors.
  Expected Result: The spell check should highlight each misspelled word and 
offer alternatives.
  
- A workaround for the time-being is to write your document in gedit,
- check spelling when complete and then paste it into libreoffice-writer
- afterwards for formatting.
+ WORKAROUND: Open the dash and run Language Support
+ 2) Under the 'Language' tab, choose another variant of English and drag it 
above the US English so it takes precedence.
+ 3) Click "Apply System-wide" and log out.
+ 
+ On logging back in, spell check will work.
+ 
+ Not reproducible in Xubuntu 32-bit.
