Libreoffice Fresh: spellcheck broken

Spellcheck doesn't seem to be able to select a language; when I press F7/select mail from the menu, the "Text language" dropdown is blank and a window appears in front of the main spellcheck window saying that the spellcheck is complete. No errors are found no matter what. Setting the language for spellcheck (Tools -> Language -> For selection/paragraph/all Text) does not seem to take effect (no checkmark after selecting a language). However, spellcheck works fine with Libreoffice 4.2.7 (libreoffice-still).

Also, (sidenote) Tools -> Thesaurus is unselectable even though I have libmythes installed.

Does anyone else have this issue?

Re: Libreoffice Fresh: spellcheck broken

The spellcheck worked for me after installing hunspell and hunspell-en for English.

Thesaurus doesn't work even though I have libmythes and mythes-en and I was just about to post a ticket

thesaurus works with libmythes and mythes-en. I forgot to close all libreoffice apps before trying.

Thanks for your contribution bytephunk, however this thread is from 2014 and the OP hasn't been on the forums since then either. We prefer to leave the dead to rest in peace.

Closing.
