Unity menu integration stops working 12.10 Beta 1

[Chris Hermansen]

Trying out Libre Office in Quantal and I notice what appears to be a bug
in the integration with Unity's menu.

An example:

 1. start up Writer
 2. menu items in Unity menu are generally accessible (for example, Help)
 3. insert a table in the empty document page
 4. menu items in Unity menu are no longer accessible (for example, Help)

I do not have a way to recover "normal menu behaviour" except to restart the application.

We discussed this a bit on ubuntu-qa on 7 September 2012; the following additional comment was offered (I have not verified it):

I noticed this issue too on Quantal, not only with tables but any libreoffice menu, like if they can be used only once then almost all the items are disabled.

confirmed on Quantal with other menus like 'Insert Manual Break', or Create a new document the select 'File/Close'

[Dennis Peteranderl (dennis-peteranderl)]

Workaround: Install the old global menu plugin via "sudo apt-get install lo-menubar"

Bjoern, can you have look when you are back from vacations please?

I think this is a dup of Bug #1045372

This seems more to be a duplicate of bug #1045372
