I just updated the description to make it more acturate on what really happens or not. Maybe this can help find an idea on what happens. Maybe this is useless as some us already understand what happens ? Maybe this bug will get some love :-)
** Description changed: Open LibreOffice Writer, go to global menu, click on any menu to open, hover over items. Expected: Orange highlight (from default theme, color not important) on mouse hover - Actual: No highlight, except text in mid-grey colour changing a bit. + Actual: No highlight, except: + - text in mid-grey colour changing a bit (brighter grey) + - menu entries that lead to a direct action get an orange square on the left side + - menu entries that lead to opening another windows just don't change + - submenus open, but highlighting works the same way in sub-menus ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 13.04 Package: libreoffice-core 1:4.0.0~beta2-0ubuntu2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.8.0-11.20-generic 3.8.2 Uname: Linux 3.8.0-11-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.9.1-0ubuntu1 Architecture: amd64 Date: Sun Mar 10 12:37:34 2013 ExecutablePath: /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice.bin InstallationDate: Installed on 2013-03-06 (4 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 13.04 "Raring Ringtail" - Alpha amd64 (20130305) MarkForUpload: True SourcePackage: libreoffice UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) XsessionErrors: gnome-session[12370]: WARNING: Application 'compiz.desktop' killed by signal 9 gnome-session[12370]: WARNING: App 'compiz.desktop' respawning too quickly gnome-session[12370]: CRITICAL: We failed, but the fail whale is dead.
