i see the same prob in fresh install ubntu 12.10 (not upgraded fm prev ver). My libreoffice is a ppa version installed like this sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/ppa sudo apt-get install libreoffice libreoffice-gnome libreoffice-help-en-us libreoffice-pdfimport
Workarounds that i've tried -> switch to other application then back to libreoffice -> doesn't always work -> minimize & maximize libreoffice -> hasn't worked tonight i'm wondering if this is contributing to the problem; sudo apt-get autoremove appmenu-gtk appmenu-gtk3 appmenu-qt i got it from noobslab http://www.noobslab.com/2012/10/important-thingstweaks-to-do-after.html Some time back, i had a problem with acrobat reader, menu items were not showing up. I did the above & the menu items appeared. I now blindly continue doing that since it worked. i'm feeling very rotten now bec i've just told the whole world how silly they are paying microsoft tons of money. Now looks like i'm the dunce! :( -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to 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 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bamf/+bug/1064962/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
