I’ve just upgraded to 7.6 and spell check has gone haywire. It seems to have marked most but not all words with suffixes (-s, -ed, -ing and some others) as spelling errors.
… and your language is … ? (I look into my magic crystal, and see “English (South African)”. That had some discussion about a regression recently.)
You’re right and thank you! I didn’t mention that initially because I tried changing it to UK and the problem remained. After restarting Writer, changing the language now fixes the problem.
