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.

    For me this is a single use fix. After quitting and returning to Teams, spell check is broken again. I have to reset Teams every day atm.

    Old and personal versions of Teams have been removed. I am using New teams for Work or School 24004.1307.2669.7070.

    I am now using this PowerShell code to fix my spell check. Rather than wiping out the entire directory which deletes custom backgrounds, I delete everything else in the folder.

    To make it easier to run, I used the PS2EXE module to compile it to an EXE.

    Get-Process -name ms-teams | Stop-Process

    $User = $ENV:UserName

    $TeamsFolder = "C:\Users$User\appdata\local\Packages\MSTeams_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Microsoft\MSTeams"

    Get-ChildItem -Path $TeamsFolder -File | Remove-item -Confirm:$false -Force 

    Remove-Item -Path $TeamsFolder\Logs -Recurse -Confirm:$false -Force 

    Remove-Item -Path $TeamsFolder\tmp -Recurse -Confirm:$false -Force

    This is simply unacceptable. If I load up "Teams Classic" spell checking works no problem but it then FORCES ME to use the "new" teams which apparently cannot spell check? What year is it again??

    For about a week mine was working great again, now it doesn't even detect a word is misspelled.

    It seems that multilanguage spell check is not implemented in new Teams. That is "reported" in the known issues about new Teams ( https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/new-teams-known-issues). Furthermore, it seems that no planning exists for adding this feature in the near future.

    I really don't understand how they release a new Teams version with half of the old version's features implemented...
