Steps to reproduce:
Proof of Concept
Ensure you have at least 2 languages dictionaries installed - I have English (United States), and French.
Go to: Settings > Composition
In Spelling ensure "Enable spellcheck as you type" is checked
Uncheck ALL languages (English (United States), and French for me)
Close Settings
...
Open a new message
Close the message
...
Go to Settings > Composition
One of the languages is now checked. (Bug)
Actual results:
The preference does not stick
Expected results:
The reason I unselect all languages in Settings, is that I don't want a default language when I compose a message.
I want to CHOOSE which of my languages I want to spell check with.
The main reason I do this is that since 102, we can select multiple languages, which personally I believe is a bad idea. Or at least the developers should implement a modifier key to select on and unselect all the others in one click. This should be implemented I believe.
In any case, we have a bug here.
Thanks!

I confirm the bug. When you have 2 dictionaries, and you set to get only french. The system fall back to english for next new message.
I try different way and it is always englis by default. It happened to me since 102.7.0 (64 bits).

Found for my case. If you modify the language via the message window, it does not save our settings. If you go via preferences -> messages the dictionnary selection is saved.
1-We should have a preference to allow (or now) multiple selections in the Contextual menu in a message. Having French and English at the same time defeats purposes. At least a modifier key for unique selection/deselect all others.
2-The bug mentioned above should be fixed. And we should allow to select NONE as default dictionary.
Who will address this? How do we tag the right dev for that section? Thanks!

I confirm this (running TB 115.8.1 on MS Windows 11 Enterprise 64-bit with latest updates): Uncheck ALL languages does not stick.
