libreoffice global menu disappeared if started by clicking on a document

[Shannon]

If libreoffice (affects all components, e.g. Writer or Impress or Calc...) is started by double clicking on an existing document, the globalmenu is not accessible (meaning, if I move mouse to the window title area, the globalmenu does not appear) in this specific session.

If I start an empty libreoffice, global menu is there, and even after I load a file using File/Open, the global menu is still alive.

Hello,

I confirm this bug with Global Menu on Libre Office in Ubuntu Quantal :

I see 3 types of problem:

- When I open a LibreOffice document directly from file manager, it starts and is visible, but as described by Shannon there is no "global menu". Title of document is well displayed, but if I move the mouse on the top panel, only the buttons (close, minimize, maximize) are visible, the remaining of the panel is empty, no menu is displayed.

For Writer and Calc I have to select and put on foreground another opened program - via Unity dock - and reselect LibreOffice, then the global menu is well visible, accessible and works. For Impress even by switching, it remains empty.

- Also, sometimes, on a opened and working document, when I switch back from another program, again menu disappers, I have to re-do the switch to make it appear again.

- Last, sometimes it happens that the global menu is visible but totally inactive and inoperative : sub-menus are displayed, but if I click on a command, absolutely nothing happens (as if I did not click), and keyboard shortcuts still work... Here the only way to get it back working is to close and restart LibreOffice.

For this last problem, I did not identify any specific situation which makes the problem always appear, it comes occasionally and randomly. Perhaps it's also a separate bug ?

As the lo-menubar problem in Precise, this is very problematic as happening for every user on a top default program used to work.
