Confirmed. This was previously a problem with ``lo-menubar'' in 11.04/11.10/12.04. Now in 12.10 the problem has been transferred from the additional/not-installed-by-default ``lo-menubar'' package into Libreoffice's GTK integration and thus this bug now affects everyone.
Removing ``libreoffice-gtk'' does effectively fix it, but breaks other things. This is a showstopper bug for some of us who use the keyboard as our primary method of interacting with the apps. It is also a complete showstopper for blind/disabled users who cannot use a mouse or other pointing device. No, the HUD is not an alternative. -- 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.
