libreoffice startup menu problems (busy mouse cursor)

[Ljiljan Veselinović]

This problem concerns libreoffice menu integration. When running LO under other environment, this IS NOT the problem.

Short youtube description of the problem is available at:

When I start any application from LibreOffice, busy mouse cursor is there for some time as well as some menu items are not disabled (and they should be).

What I have discovered: if I have LO Quickstarter enabled, this problem appears when starting LO. However, when LO Quickstarted is disabled this problem does not appear when starting any LO program (for example Writer), but appears when I start another (Calc or Impress).

I am using Ubuntu 14.04, installed fresh from web site (Unity 7.2.2), 64-bit version.

The problem existed in almost all version of ubuntu.. from Ubuntu 13.04 up to 14.10.

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

This bugs affects me if I open a second document by double click in Nautilus. Ubuntu 14.04.

I don't think it has to do something with Nautilus. If you have one INSTANCE of LibreOffice application opened, the second one will cause this menu problem. In my case, it always happens because LO QuickLauncher runs in the background.

As part of the big bug review for 16.04 LTS I have tested this on 15.10 and the bug is still there.

The busy cursor occurs when a second instance of a LibreOffice application is opened. If Quickstarter is enabled (In LibreOffice, go to Tools -> Options -> LibreOffice -> Memory -> and check "enable systray Quickstarter"), it occurs when opening the first instance of a LibreOffice app.
