I tried to reproduce this bug in version 7.2.1.2 
Extra spaces are correctly found in English sentences. 
Not in any other language. 

I attached languages_sample.odt file containing four languages - I chose the
correct language for each paragraph and added typos in each paragraph to show
that the spellcheck for each language is working, but extra spaces are not
checked. Only the English text is checked for extra spaces. See also attached
screenshot of the document.

Steps to Reproduce:
Create new file in Writer.
Write a sentence in any language other then English, add extra space between
any two words of the sentence. 
For example Spanish sentence: Mi  nombre es  Juan.
If the language is not recognized, set the proofing language in Tools ->
Language -> For All Text -> Spanish(Spain)

Or alternatively just open the attached document and see the issue in Czech,
Spanish and French. 

Expected results:
Extra spaces should be underlined with wavy blue line.

Actual results:
Extra spaces are ignored.

This is more a feature request then a bug report as tools for checking word
spacing are apparently available only for English - judging from the settings
in 
Tools -> Options ->  Language Settings -> English Sentence Checking 
These settings don't influence the checking in any other language.

When I tried opening the attached document in MS Word the spellchecker found
the first extra space in each of the sentences regardless of the proofing
language. 
I would expect Writer to do the same as LibreOffice is intended for
professional use. 
Checking the typographic errors only for English lowers the quality
significantly for users from non-english speaking countries. 
Extra spaces are easily overlooked and the document will not have a
professional quality.
