spell check locks AI without file already open to spell check
I had opened Illustrator 2020 and wanted to open a file from the server, so I typed command+o on my Macintosh, but missed the "o" and hit command + "i" instead. [the keys are adjacent] This brought up the spell checker, without an open file. And there was no way to close the spell check window at all. the only buttons available were "start" or "done" which had no effect on the popover window. I had to force quit Illustrator 2020 to move forward. UI window closure buttons on the popover would have obviated this situation.

Jim, can you reproduce this issue in latest versions?
It seems like this can’t be done anymore, and the command stays disabled for a hotkey or the execution form the menu when no documents are open.
