Before moving and starting without one:

{
  "accent_color": "#d9556a",
  "project-directories": [
    "/home/ian/Documents/Markdown",
    "/home/ian/somewhere"
  ],
  "theme": "dark",
  "ignore_version": "0.33.0",
  "spellcheck_languages": [
    "en-GB"
  ],
  "powermode": false,
  "active_filters": [],
  "expanded_section": [
    "categories",
    "files",
    "tags"
  ],
  "expanded_folders": [
    "/home/ian/somewhere"
  ],
  "active_file": "/home/ian/somefile.md"

After doing that and changing a few (different) things:

{
  "project-directories": [
    "/home/ian/somewhere"
  ],  "expanded_folders": [
    "/home/ian/somewhere"
  ],
  "spellcheck_languages": [
    "en-GB"
  ],
  "theme": "auto",
  "power_shake_amount": 0,
  "active_file": "/home/ian/comefile.md",
  "active_filters": []

.. and on restarting, it's back to using US English although the en-GB remains in settings.json!

(Waits for someone to finish using the other PC in the room.)

It's painfully slow on low spec PCs, isn't it? None of the CPU cores is especially busy, there's plenty of spare RAM, so I'm guessing it would really like to avoid Intel integrated graphics...

Similar but different: if I delete US English and have UK English, what's in the settings.json file is both, and restarting results in it being US English only.

My PC is Linux MATE 21.1 (based on Ubuntu 22.04) with 'a reasonable for 2018' Ryzen and Nvidia graphics card. The other one is Ubuntu MATE 22.04, with

a i3-5005U and its integrated graphics.
