I've got a machine with the same problem. When desktop effects are set to 'normal', and the nvidia drivers are enabled, I see no menus in Open Office. I've also noticed that when this problem is occurring I get no display when I open the gvim (gtk version of vim) text editor.
A workaround that seems to consistently fix both problems is to turn off all visual effects. -- 8.10 - compiz "normal" + nvidia binary video loses openoffice menu text https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/297836 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
