Duplicate Launcher icon after opening a Writer document

[André Germano]

Sometimes when I open a file in LibreOffice 3.6 in Ubuntu 12.10, an error occurs that is an icon of LibreOffice normal and the other just below where the controls and indications appear.

Attached image showing the error.

I have the same issue.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I can confirm the same behavior on my 12.10 64bit install. Screenshot attached.

This is a very annoying bug and did not happen before this summer (I cannot definitely say when that started to occur). And this is reproducable on completely different machine.

What does it need now to proceed here?

The somehow maybe related Bug #1026426 (that's another one, not what Matthew mentioned) did not solve the problem for me (12.04 64-bit bamf 0.2.126) - and still there after upgrading LibreOffice to version 4.1.1.2, Build ID: 410m0(Build:2) right now.

My older laptop (32-bit) with older LibreOffice but same BAMF works fine.

as I found that at the LibreOffice bugs list such a bug was never reported.

Assuming this was a bamf only issue and closing as per change there.
