[Upstream] Unable to exit Office via File -> Exit when Help -> About window open

[Lobster]

Binary package hint: openoffice.org

summary
when two office applications are open and one office app. shows the help-about dialogue, the other app won't close thru file-exit menu.

steps to reproduce:
1. Start OpenOffice Calc
2. Click Help-->About Open Office
3. Start OpenOffice Presentation
4. The automatic wizard proposes to create an empty presentation by default. Accept the default option and create an empty presentation.
5. Now, in the "OpenOffice Presentation" application, go to "File"--> "Exit" and click.
6. The application "OpenOffice Presentation" does not exit (However, it must exit by design, as it would normally do).
7. Clicking on the left top round "X" button, however, closes the application.

So the problem is demonstrated in step 6.

HTH
Regards.

Tested with LibreOffice 3.3 and OpenOffice 3.3. Notice that the keyboard shortcut for the exit menuitem does not work neither, but Alt+F4 closes the window without any problems.

Confirmed in Ubuntu 10.10 LibreOffice.

Björn Michaelsen, as this is a minor inconvenience with an easy workaround, is this one a Wishlist?

[Björn Michaelsen (bjoern-michaelsen)]

[This is an automated message.]
There are no new official OpenOffice.org releases in Ubuntu packaging anymore => Won't Fix

If the problem persists, please mark this bug as "also affects project Libreoffice" or "also affects distribution Libreoffice (Ubuntu)" if that has not happened already.

Please leave references to upstream OpenOffice.org bugs in place to allow cross pollination.

Upstream issue, will be fixed upstream => Wontfix in ubuntu packaging
Missing upstream issue => Incomplete
