A similar question occurs to me. When will this problem be corrected?
Er, what problem, please? Spelling checking works for me and for
millions of others. Why not for you?
For more than 10 years, the configure folder has become corrupted by
some action. This prevents the spell checker from working any more.
Aha! But this problem is not a matter of "the spell checker doesn't
work", so we don't know - indeed you don't know - that this is what
the original questioner is experiencing. And you didn't indicate that
this different problem - that spelling checking works until you
mishandle your computer but then doesn't - is what you were talking
about.
Deleting the this folder and then running OOo corrects this as you
already know. LibreOffice has learned how to avoid this. Since these
two office programs are very similar, I would think that the solution
would be to apply the same solution.
Yes, I agree that this later problem should be prevented, but we
should not give users generally the untrue idea that "the spell
checker doesn't work". Meanwhile we should encourage them into the
good practice that avoids it anyway.

I agree with you. What I should have pointed out as to what the likely
problem is that the user was having which I did not. Instead I assumed
that everyone would know what has been obvious on so many computers
running OOo: the configuration folder has become corrupt. It has become
a reflex action.
