Description: Auto complete was not working in Writer. I have enabled auto complete and collect words, but no words were collected when I typed. I set language to default language of my computer. one way can trigger auto complete -- I had to disable auto complete and collect words and type some words, before enabling auto complete and collect words again. but even I did this, the only words I input after I disabled these two options were collected. That means no words were collected after I checked these options again. I tried to install libreoffice-24.2.3.2 from source, the bug was still there. Spell check is not working too. Incorrect words are not underlined. Version libreoffice-still 7.6.6-4.

I installed Libreoffice Still on Linux Mint and auto complete worked normally. It seems it's a Manjaro-specific problem.
installing hunspell-en_us fixed it
Let's close as "not a bug" then. Seems you're not the only one: https://forum.manjaro.org/t/libreoffice-how-to-get-spellchecking-to-actually-work/102994
