Do you have a language selected for use in the composer settings?
Nope. Didn't have a language set. Setting english fixed the problem, but that means we should change the bug. Saying no spelling errors found is a problem. It really should warn me that I had no language selected. It would be nice if Red Hat at least defaulted to english (but that would be wrong for other countries) or set the language according user's language preferences at login time.
There are some changes occuring upstream with the gnome-spell configuration fitting in better with the composer
