Can anyone tell me what is wrong with LibreOffice?

[Owen Thomas]

Hello again.

My faith in LibreOffice has been tested these few years because it seems
that large pieces of it haven't been functioning for a while. The format
paintbrush mechanism apparently hasn't been working for about two years.

Recently, I've been trying to use LibreOffice for the first time after I
installed 16.04, and I find that the spell checker is broken for Australian
and UK English. It simply won't pick up spelling mistakes (neither as I
type nor when I request a scan of the document) after I select either
dictionary.

I can't ask this question of ask.libreoffice.org because I can't get past
the robot detection mechanism - that seems to be broken also. I think
Ubuntu has to make a decision whether it should find and put resources
toward making Libre Office function, or remove it from the default
installation.
