Version: 5.2.5.1 (x64) spell checker not working?

Whether I use this LO version on Win 10 or on Linux the Spellchecker does not function at all. Searching on google indicates that a dictionary must be downloaded - did that & spell checker worked for one time only then reverted to not functioning. This seems to be an urgent bug needing fast resolution if not already addressed.

  1. Read this tutorial and this troubleshooting guide.
  2. Read these guidelines and ask a good question.

P. S. Claiming a bug with no real substantiation makes you look like an arrogant dork and reduces your chances to be helped.
