I just installed LBO 3.4.3 on Win XP. Spell checking is not working: neither
automatically as you type, nor by choosing Tools>Spelling and Grammar. I
have English language pack and dictionaries installed.
Thanks for any help!
What happens when it is not working?
Do you see the dialog? If so, which text language does it assume?
See an error message? What does it say?
Wrong positives? Which ones?
Wrong negatives? Which ones?
Language Settings>Languages>Western Language ?
Do you start with a prepared template or default template? Which language
does the status bar indicate?
It is not spell checking when it is not working 
Yes, the dialog opens up (press F7 or select from the tools menu), asks if
continue spell checking from the top, then says spell check complete,
ignoring all the (misspelled) words.
No error messages.
In the Language Settings, western laguages - Default English (USA).
In Writing aids, however, Available language modules was empty.
Found that this was reported as a bug 37195:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37195
Replaced file configmgr.ini in the user profile directories (...\Application
Data\LibreOffice\3\user\...) with the one from Program Files\LibreOffice
3.4\share\prereg\...
Spell checker working now. Seems ok otherwise so far.
Works fine on the mac.

Working fine for me LO 3.4.3 Ubuntu/Pinguy 11.04
It is working fine for me on Ubuntu 11.04 and LibreOffice 3.4.3 just installed.
Confirmed, the spellchecking fails on upgrade (Windows XP machine at work)
As per the OP the problem is listed here:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37195
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37195
The configmgr.ini workaround fixes the issue however it's disturbing the
issue is still present.
Spellcheck working fine here, LO3.4.3 Windows XP SP3, upgraded from
3.4.2.

Hi
Could someone that is affected by the bug please post a comment in those threads
giving them a link to this thread?
http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/spell-checking-not-working-in-LBO-3-4-3-tp3299202p3300413.html
to let them know the problem still happens?

Tom, or anyone:
Could some list the machines, OS, versions of LO, etc., that have been having issues with LO's Spellchecker? I think I remember someone having issue with 3.4.2's Spellchecker as well as 3.4.3.
I have Language Tool 1.2 extension installed [I do this by default] so the system uses it for the Spellchecking. I tried 1.3 and it "freezes" during install on Ubuntu 64-bit. 1.4 is out on their site, but I do not know if that one works.
So, for those with a Spellchecker issue, could you install the Language Tools extension and see if, for now, that fixes your issues with it?
Language Tool - 1.2 version I use.
http://libreoffice-na.us/English/add-ons-extensions/LanguageTool-1.2.oxt
Their web site showing 1.4 version, but I have not tested that one.
http://www.languagetool.org/
It does require Java 6.0_4 or later, but newer versions than 6.0_23 have issues for some people.
I don't use the Language Tool. I have had this same issue when I upgraded
from 3.4.0 to 3.4.2 and 3.4.3. I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium with
3.4.3. I posted a comment yesterday at
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37195 about this. I used the
work around mentioned in the bug report to solve the problem.
Its a disgrace that this issue should exist at all. It was identified in an
earlier beta and has now been carried forward for 3 releases.
Hi,

Replacing 'configmgr.ini' is a workaround close to the "root of the matter".
(That's the reason I had mentioned it in bug 37195.)
Another--more user-friendly--workaround:
Rename (or remove) the folder 'bundled'
[path: ...\LibreOffice\3\user\extensions\bundled].
Then restart LibreOffice.
The bundled dictionaries extensions will be synchronized again (for
the user profile) with the correct current location.
Its a disgrace that this issue should exist at all. It was identified in an
earlier beta and has now been carried forward for 3 releases.
Caolán McNamara has created a new patch, that--hopefully--will fix the bug:

Hi
Is it difficult to add patches that have not completed their normal QA testing?
If people could beta test patches would that help get them through QA faster?
Is that covered in
