Spellcheck not working

Hi there - running Libre Office on Ubuntu and something going on with the spell check. It doesn’t highlight misspelt words unless I right-click on the paragraph then it only highlights misspelt word in that paragraph. I don’t have to select anything when I right-click - just right-clicking is enough. If I select 1, or multiple, paragraphs (or even individual words) and right click, misspelt words are not highlighted. I’m not sure why, I think it’s been like this since installation. And is highly annoying - particularly when your spelling is a bad as mine! Any idea what is causing this?

EDIT
My question is really is this a bug that needs reporting, or a setting somewhere that I need to change.
