Latest update flags perfectly spelt English words as wrong

Hi @garethirwin1234,

Thanks for sharing the additional details. I understand how frustrating it is when something that was working correctly suddenly changes after an update, especially when it interrupts your normal workflow.

Could you please confirm the additional details that the expert requested, specifically the dictionary provider selected under Edit > Preferences > Dictionary?

I also tested this on Windows 11 with the dictionary configured for English (UK), and I wasn't able to reproduce the behavior. To help us narrow this down, could you please confirm whether you're using Windows or macOS, and also let us know your exact InDesign version? Are you on the latest 21.5 release, or another build?

One more thing I'd like you to check is the language assigned to the affected text. Even if the dictionary preferences are set to English (UK), the text itself may have a different language applied. Please select one of the affected words, then go to Window > Type & Tables > Character, and confirm that the Language is set to English: UK.

Looking forward to your update so we can investigate this further.

What is the language set to the actual text, check that in the Character specifications. Your dictionary may be set to UK but the character specifications (or Paragrap style or Character style) may be US as this is the default often.
 

Which language is applied to the text itself?

I’m afraid I don’t know what you mean. If you mean Windows 11 its set to Uk English, as I stated in my OP.

Again and once more just in case its been missed. It was fine yesterday. Today InDesign has updated and now its broken in InDesign. 

What dictionary provider is selected in preferences?
