I got this same bug recently. It appeared when I changed my Gnome top and bottom panels to autohide. Changing them back to normal didn't remove the bug. The problem only occurs with Writer, not Calc.
I got it fixed when I removed ~/.openoffice.org2/user/registry/data/org/openoffice/Office/Writer.xcu Original Writer.xcu attached. ** Attachment added: "Writer.xcu.old" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/15930302/Writer.xcu.old -- OpenOffice.org Word Processor (oowriter) stays in "semi-fullscreen" mode no matter what I do https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/106506 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
