Desktop Teams App: English (UK) dictionary marks "I've" as a spelling mistake

Desktop Teams App > Settings > General > App Language > English (United Kingdom)

Typing "I've" marks it as a spelling mistake. It corrects to "I've" (i.e. stays the same), which is then marked as a mistake again.

I've deleted the en-GB.bdic file from the appData to reload it to no effect.

I'm on version 1.3.00.4461 (64 bit).

Same here - all ['ve] contractions are marked as a spelling error, and the context menu suggested correction is always what's already there.

I'm surprised this is still a bug. Microsoft has been providing spell checking capabilities for decades. It's hard to believe this one can't be corrected quickly.

Pretty annoying - why isn't there a global 365 dictionary for a user?

This seems to be localised to any 've contractions. I'll and won't seem to be fine.

Yep, all my contractions are marked as spelling errors: I've, we've, I'll, won't, etc.

Using Australian English dictionary and Teams v1.3.00.9267 on Win 10 (latest version).

Same effect for "we've," and I'm in USA on Windows client 1.3.00.4461. I don't recall when this bug started.
