Then again, it might...if any flaps/slats are extended, due differential spoiler actuation with control wheel movement.
I don't think so. The L-1011's inboard spoiler mixers and outboard spoiler selectors are driven by the inboard aileron feed backrods. Therefore there can be no spoiler movement if there is no aileron movement. So even with the flaps down and the mixers and selectors set to deploy spoilers 2 through 6 on the up aileron wing it will not happen if the aileron does not move.
