Unless someone has somehow renamed the en_US dictionary to en_GB, I can not recreate this at all in Sigil-1.4.3 But I can with earlier versions of Sigil-1.4.x. Perhaps you have more than one version of Sigil installed somehow.

So please do as Doitsu suggested, please post a screenshot of the "About Sigil" dialog and a screen shot of your Sigil Dictionary Preferences dialog box just to rule that out.

And a screen shot of the top of a xhtml file (not the cover) wouldn't hurt.

Also, one other thing to try is to open Sigil without any epub at all and try typing text such as "colour" into the first empty page to see if the issue is somehow related to the specific epub you are editing.

Something is very strange here as on my machine with Sigil 1.4.3 this just works.

I live in Canada and since I have no en_CA, dictionary, I often use the provided en_GB dictionary to spellcheck Canadian English (as the overlap there is greater than the overlap with en_US).

And it works just fine.
