Research direction
Start with the reproduction steps in the issue and trace the desktop app's spelling context-menu handling and user-dictionary entry point. Determine how learned words are stored and where a user could manage or remove them. Done means the learned word remains supported while users have a discoverable way to view or remove entries, with the behavior tested.
