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.

#Resolution Solution :
Today we resolve this issue in few simple steps in windows 11:
Few things you need to ensure: Spell check setting is checked under Teams General settings.
In old teams spell check is working fine.
Now,
Quit Teams (close teams completely)
Removed old teams from startup and unpinned from taskbar (optional)
start> installed apps > Find Teams
Teams NEW ( work or school) Click on 3 dots then advance options
Scroll down and click on Reset button under RESET.
Now find Teams (open/login new teams app)
Once it open go to chat and try typing and see if it doing spell check or not.

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

Oddly enough, I have noticed mine is actually suggesting the proper words lately yet at the same time others in my organization were complaining how it has stopped working for them today.
I believe Microsoft is rolling out a fix and it is taking time to hit all accounts. I would have thought it would be rolled out by tenant id but that doesn't align with what my company is seeing.
