Spellcheck not working

[nettlebay]

Hello, Despite all my research and efforts, spellchecking does not work and with my old AUR version too. Yet Hunspell seems well configured. I have no problem with other apps like Chromium or Firefox. My OS is Manjaro Linux. Same issue on my other PC (Manjaro too). Thank you for your help.

Spellcheck in English seems to be working. What language are you using?

Spellcheck in English (locale en-US) isn't working for me in the current signal snap (6.0.1). The application log is showing the following entries that may be relevant.

Hi - quite a lot has changed in the build process since this was filed. I'm able to make the spellchecker work in both English and French as of today. This is quite stale, so I'm going to close for now, but please feel free to comment back if it's still an issue for you!
