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.

Teams does make suggestions but they are horrible suggestions. these are just a few examples.
I figured it out - thanks. Still not working...
I am not sure if it is a long-term fix or not, but I had one of my team members do the following. So far on day 2 spellcheck is still working.
Close Microsoft Teams.
Go to %appdata%\Microsoft\Teams
Delete all the files and folders in this directory (don't worry, this won't affect your messages or files stored in Teams).
Restart Microsoft Teams
I agree with you, what I dont' understand is why there isn't a common/shared spell check and custom dictionary for all of Microsoft Office apps instead of having each app have its own version. Seems like a huge break int eh collaboration between Office Teams.
I have cleared the cache etc using the details above and yet still the spell checker is not available - the word unerlines as incorrect but there are not any options to corret.
