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.

    Hi, any update on this issue? In my company, I can now use just new Teams where the Spell check for non-English languages doesn't work correctly. In classic Teams, it works very well, so it is really a shame that I don't have the same great functionality in new Teams.

    I just tried the following but did not work

    Settings >> Disable spell check

    Restart Teams.

    Settings >> enable spell check

    Restart Teams.

    Close Teams

    Clear Teams cache located in %appdata%\Microsoft\Teams

    I ended up navigating to portal.office.com and Teams on the web had a working spell check

    Downloaded and installed desktop version, asked me if I wanted to use NEW or CLASSIC, selected classic

    Spell check is now working.

    That's very impressive, and it's absurd you have to do that. But nice work.

    It appears that you're experiencing an issue with the spell checker functionality in Microsoft Teams after a recent update. This problem seems to manifest as the spell checker highlighting misspelled words but failing to provide suggested corrections when clicked. Additionally, you've mentioned that deleting the settings.json file temporarily resolves the issue, but it reoccurs shortly afterward.

    It seems that this issue may be related to a software bug or compatibility issue within the latest update of Microsoft Teams. The fact that the spell checker works correctly when using the pop-out feature and chatting in a separate window suggests that the problem may be specific to the integrated interface of Teams rather than the spell checker itself.

    Here are some steps you can take to address and troubleshoot this issue:

    1. Check for Updates: Ensure that you are running the latest version of Microsoft Teams. Sometimes, software updates include bug fixes and improvements that can resolve issues like the one you're experiencing.
    2. Submit Feedback: Use the built-in feedback mechanism in Microsoft Teams to report the issue directly to Microsoft. This helps Microsoft prioritize and address software bugs and usability issues.
    3. Community Forums: Continue monitoring community forums and support channels, such as the Microsoft Teams community forum or Microsoft support pages, for updates, workarounds, or resolutions provided by other users or Microsoft support staff.
    4. Temporary Workaround: While waiting for a permanent solution, you can continue using the pop-out feature or an alternative method for chatting in a separate window where the spell checker works correctly.
    5. Reinstall or Repair: If the issue persists, consider reinstalling Microsoft Teams or performing a repair installation to ensure that the software is functioning correctly.
    6. Contact Support: If the problem persists despite attempting the above steps, consider reaching out to Microsoft Support for further assistance. Provide them with detailed information about the issue, including any error messages, steps to reproduce, and relevant system information.

    By following these steps and staying engaged with the Community of MicrosoftTeamscommunity and support channels, you can increase the likelihood of resolving the spell checker issue and improve your overall experience with the application.
    Alternatively, You may try Repair option or Reset. It may surely helps you to fix the issue.
