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 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.
