I have the same version as you do. I live in Oz, I have several<br>
dictionaries installed including Australian English. If I open a clean<br>
document and type "color" it is flagged as a misspelling with a wiggly<br>
red line underneath it. Same for "humor", "sanitize" and a bunch of<br>
other americanisms. It also flags outright wrong stuff like "hgft". If<br>
I instead type "colour", "humour" and "sanitise", there is no wiggly<br>
red line.<br>
<br>
If I change the "Languages" option and make the locale and language<br>
"English (USA)", the americanisms versions lose the wiggly line and the<br>
correctly spelled versions :-) gain one. So to me it all seems to be<br>
working fine. I didn't try going through the Tools menu.<br>
<br>
Can you provide a  short procedure that will (on your system) reliably<br>
demonstrate the problem? And what specific indicator you are using for<br>
the problem? E.g., "I type 'humor', I expect the word to be flagged<br>
with a wiggly red underline when I type a space after the final letter<br>
of the word, but the word does not get flagged."<br>
<br>
