<p>Spell check is a plugin that is part of the plugins project which has its own issues <a href="https://github.com/geany/geany-plugins/issues">here</a> its not part of Geany itself.  Please report plugin issues there because many plugins have their own developers and maintainers who are not part of the Geany project itself.</p>
<p>Do you have the right enchant backend installed on Linux for open office dictionaries (sorry don't know which one)?  As the readme says just before the part you quoted:</p>
<pre><code>For the plugin to work at all, you need to have the Enchant
library installed together with at least one backend (Aspell, Myspell,
Hunspell, ...)
</code></pre>
<p>These are installed from the distribution, not bundled as they are on windows.</p>
