Alt shortcuts do not in work LibreOffice using Unity

[Leandro]

When using LibreOffice in Unity (here on Ubuntu version 13.04 beta), I cannot access
the functions of the program using the standard ALT-Key shortcuts. For example, I cannot
use the combinations ALT + i + p to open the special character table. When I press ALT
that new menu appears (and I cannot find any command there of any utility, but this is
another story, actually I though that by typing character I would be presented with the
special character option of libreoffice, but that does not happen).

This would seem to be a duplicate of 739184, though now that the menu integration is from LO themselves, maybe it's now a bug for them.

Some initial testing yesterday seemed to suggest that the workarounds from that bug no longer work, making LibreOffice and Unity an either/or proposition, but I'll try some more things and add detail.

uninstalling libreoffice-gnome still gives you an -- albeit ugly -- libreoffice without any unity integration.

[Jon Hanna (jonhanna)]

Trying today, I find that uninstalling libreoffice-gnome doesn't do the trick (even with a full reboot after it), but removing libreoffice-gtk does.

Yesterday, on that day's daily build, that had managed to leave me with no menus at all!

Still, at least the workaround still works.
