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.

I finally got it to work! A repair and reset worked for me (in the app settings menu) !
For about a week mine was working great again, now it doesn't even detect a word is misspelled.
I had the same issue and tried it all. After talking with my Teams admin, we were able to get this resolved by closing teams and then removing the contents in: %localappdata%\Packages\MSTeams_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Microsoft\MSTeams
After we removed it and started teams, it is now detecting misspelled words.

3 dots should be there if you are admin. Check if you have admin rights on our profile.
thank you for your response - the 3 dots goes into settings and I do not have a RESET option
