For those who need menemonics (alt+...) but are not fussed about the HUD, this might be an acceptable workaround (on Quantal, certainly; might well work on Precise and Raring). It's the best solution I have found.
Removed/purged LibreOffice, and then installed LibreOffice4 from http://www.libreoffice.org/download, NOT a version packaged for Ubuntu/Unity. This is how things stand now: DO work: - Looks as intended! Since this version is (I presume) unaware of Unity, there is no global menu integration attempted, so libreoffice-gtk does not need to be removed (which ruined the appearance and broke things) - Mnemonics work perfectly! DON'T work: - HUD does not work for LO4 (of course, but works for other applications) - Yet another version of incorrect icons appearing in the Unity Launcher bar ('XSLT-based filters' with a '?' icon appears in place of specific LO icons) I now use the Compiz Ring Switcher in place of the Unity application switcher, so am less dependent on the icons being meaningful (though I did change the XSLT-based filters icon for a default LO one, which is a subtle improvement). Hope someone finds that helpful. -- 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/739184 Title: [Libreoffice] Mnemonics do not work in Unity Status in Unity: Triaged Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: When lo-menubar is installed and LibreOffice is open with a document, the keyboard shortcuts to access menus like Alt + F for file etc do not work. Menu keyboard shortcuts are working for other apps via indicator-menu. WORKAROUND: Disable the global menu by removing the package "libreoffice-gtk". This might be solved if bug #1064962 is solved.
