What happened to the spellcheck feature on the new Teams??

I have notice that the spell check seems to be broken on the new Teams version. The incorrectly spelled word still gets underlined in red, and a suggestion list populates as it used to, but the suggestions are ridiculous. A perfect example is the word "definitely".

    Same. Not sure if no spell check is better than bad spell check.

    Just wanted to provide an update.

    I noticed a week or so ago that spellcheck was no longer suggesting ANYTHING, as have others here.

    Finally looked into it a little.

    I'm on Windows 11.

    New Teams wasn't giving suggestions anymore; not even wrong ones.

    Old Teams was working as expected (yay).

    Quit New Teams, and cleared my cache (All files inside of %localappdata%\packages\MSTeams_8wekyb3d8bbwe\Localcache\Microsoft\MSTeams)

    Now Teams is performing spellcheck - though it seems to be a bit "delayed" in that often, it wont' check "on the fly" but I have to wait or hit the <tab> key for it to do the check. But, at least its making proper suggestions now.
    Hopefully they get the responsiveness corrected now.

    this helped me! Just don't forget to backup your custom backgrounds before you do this :)

    Didn't work for me. Deleted that folder and -- still no spell check at all.
