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".

    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 is getting beyond a joke at this point. Please Microsoft fix this. I felt like I was doing something wrong 'til I read this thread. It feels like there is an attempt to make the suggested word at least as long as the mistyped one and to try to use all the letters, especially consonants (in English).

    Exactly my point and reason for the initial post. Makes no sense.
    I don't notice any "fix" either...

    Wanted to do the same thing!

    You have to see it to fully appreciate the frustration.
