Apologies - I think my remarks about the visibility of the menus hold true, but I am experiencing cases where a previously existing document (opened as the FIRST document from within the LO 'White Window' ), displays menus which although VISIBLE, do not FUNCTION... The workaround MAY be to open a blank document in the first instance, THEN open an existing one in any manner you choose.
@Lance: Even where the menus are gone to pot, I have had no difficulty simply saving my changes using Ctrl+S. That should be much less cumbersome than creating new documents all the time. I really hate to moan, but I cannot be alone in finding this excruciatingly embarrasing (never mind tedious)... I used to recommend Ubuntu - but now I cannot. For over a year or more there have been major useability problems in this core application, all concerning LO integration with Unity and Global menus. This particular problem was immediately apparent on the Quantal Live CD final release; however, I went ahead an installed it, believing that (after so many problems in Oneiric and Precise) there must be an update waiting in the repos - but there wasn't, as we now realise. I know it's free software, I am deeply grateful to all the programmers and I am happy to make my donation to Canonical, but it beggars belief that time could be wasted coding for Amazon shopping (for heaven's sake!), leaving this crucially important application in such a poor state. Just my 2p of rant. Sorry, but it's finally beginning to get to me... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1064962 Title: Global menubar items do not work when opening a document directly from nautilus with no LibreOffice instance running Status in BAMF Application Matching Framework: Confirmed Status in The Application Menu: Confirmed Status in “bamf” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “indicator-appmenu” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “bamf” source package in Quantal: Confirmed Status in “indicator-appmenu” source package in Quantal: Confirmed Status in “libreoffice” source package in Quantal: Invalid Bug description: 1) Have no instance of LibreOffice running 2) open a document by double-clicking it in nautilus 3) new window has no menu 4) unfocusing/refocusing (e.g. by pressing F7 to bring up the spelling dialog) makes the menu appear WORKAROUND: minimize and restore the LibreOffice window ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.10 Package: libreoffice-gtk 1:3.6.2~rc2-0ubuntu3 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.5.0-17.28-generic 3.5.5 Uname: Linux 3.5.0-17-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia ApportVersion: 2.6.1-0ubuntu2 Architecture: amd64 Date: Wed Oct 10 11:48:20 2012 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 11.04 "Natty Narwhal" - Release amd64 (20110427.1) SourcePackage: libreoffice UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to quantal on 2012-09-30 (9 days ago) original description: In writer, none of the menubar items appear to work.
