This problem happened to me as well. OpenOffice starts in fullscreen mode with menus and toolbars showing. Selecting view->fullscreen causes the menus and toolbars to disappear, and causes a floating toolbox with an "exit fullscreen" button to appear. Leaving fullscreen brings back the menu and toolbars, but the window remains fullscreen.
Alt+Space brings up the metacity window menu in which the maximize, resize and move commands are disabled. The minimize command is available. Inspired by Michael Nagel's comment, I did a diff of the configuration after renaming my configuration. Through trial and error, I isolated the single configuration file that causes the problem: .openoffice.org2/user/registry/data/org/openoffice/Setup.xcu. I've attached the diff of that file on my system. Looking at the diff, it is worth mentioning my display is set at a resolution of 1400x1050. ** Attachment added: "launchpad-bug-156283.diff" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/24130229/launchpad-bug-156283.diff -- OOo starts in weird full screen mode and can't get out https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/156283 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
