LibreOffice *looks* as if it was checking the spelling when the dictionary is not installed.

Bug #997934: [Upstream] Spell checking doesn't warn users if the selected dictionary isn't installed, but rather returns a potentially incorrect result.

Bug Description
Binary package hint: libreoffice
To reproduce:
Uninstall myspell-ru package (if such is installed).
Type some gibberish in LibreOffice Writer.
Set the document language to Russian.
Spell check the document.
What happens.
LibreOffice successfully completes checking the rubbish and reports that everything went fine.
What i expect to happen:
I expect LibreOffice to either disable the spell checking feature or (better) to warn me that the language cannot be checked (so that i go and install the correct myspell package).

Thank you for submitting this bug, I can confirm that this bug exists. fja;sdf"
To further clarify recreation:
1) Type out anything in LO Writer, just something like "jaskldfjasdl;
2) Go to Tools > Language > For All Text > More... > Default Languages for documents > Default - Russian
3) Spell Check will ignore your gibberish that you type.
I'm marking this bug as confirmed. I also can recreate this issue in all the other languages I have tried such as Dutch, Czech, and more.

Steve
