Microsoft Teams Spell Check

With the recent update to Teams the spellchecker is not working correctly.  It will show the misspelled word but when you click on it there is no longer a suggested spelling popping up.  We (Several in the company) have noticed this on the latest update to the following version, Microsoft Teams Version 1.6.00.21970 (64-bit).

I have already gone in and deleted the setting.json file, that will work for a short time 10-20 minutes then back to not given a suggestion. 

I am seeing an old issue TM390278 https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msteams/forum/all/microsoft-teams-spell-check/337ee648-af60-4cf4-8336-a1c68f3a1d78

I tested if we use the pop out feature and chat in a seperate window spellchecker will work as intended it appear to be the same issue as posted before.

    The "reboot" does not work for me. Spell check works if I uninstall and reinstall, but then fails sometime after that. Rinse and repeat :..(

    This. I've followed a few different suggestions. Totally removing/cleaning this directory and rebooting...

    %userprofile%\appdata\local\Packages\MSTeams_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Microsoft\MSTeams

    ...That works for a bit and then I'll notice a day later that spell check has stopped working again.

    Microsoft Software Bugs: Always disappointing, but really not surprising.

    I did the above but that alone did not seem to help. I noticed you have to right click on the "Type a message" area and click on the "Check Spelling" drop down option. Select check spelling when entering text along with the Spellcheck box being checked. It worked for me.

    Thank you. I am sorry - I am not familiar with %appdata%\Microsoft\Teams. Do you mean in a search engine type that in?
