Steps to Reproduce:
1) Have several LibreOffice Writer documents open simultaneously...
2) It may or may not help reproduce the bug if some of the documents are new
documents not saved to disk.
3) run a spell check in one of the documents.  Continue with the spell check
until you get the dialog window saying "The spellcheck is complete."  Leave
this dialog window open.  Do not click "ok" on it.
4) switch to a different LibreOffice Writer document
5) run a spell check in the different LibreOffice Writer document
6) You will observe that the spell check now fails to find any spelling errors
in any other LibreOffice Writer documents.  The spell check reports in error
that "The spellcheck is complete" when in fact the spellcheck has not been run.
7) Note that to get the bug to trigger you may have to switch back and forth a
couple times between windows, maybe click off the spell check dialog to shift
focus or some such.

Actual Results:
spelling check is reporting to user that spelling check has been completed when
in fact spelling check has not been completed.  The user is led to believe that
the document has no spelling errors, but in fact the document might have
spelling errors.

Expected Results:
tell me about my terrible spelling
