unity panel does not hide if libreoffice set to fullscreen

[Brian Murray]

Binary package hint: unity

If I set a libreoffice application (which is not maximized) to fullscreen the unity panel does not hide and obscures the application. This does not happen if I set it to fullscreen after it is maximized.

Was able to reproduce this one.

Still affects Unity 3.8.10-0ubuntu2 on an updated Natty. (Upgrade from Maverick)
Reproducable.
Libreoffice normal window, maximize with button, then view -> fullscreen.
Libreoffice normal window, drag to fullscreen.
Result: Panel never autohides.

This affects me as well. I have to close all LibreOffice windows in order to regain normal unity behaviour. However, this does not happen every time.

Also: The menu of LibreOffice does not integrate into the top bar, but there is a more customary menu bar on top of the window (above the symbol area)

Hello all, is there any update to this issue? Could it be assigned please? Is it going to be fixed in Oneiric? It's extremely annoying. Note this does not just happen when libre is maximised. Even a un-maximized window causes this and you have to close libre to get the panel to respond again.

[John (raev33-deactivatedaccount)]

I can confirm it not just happens when Libreoffice is in fullscreen. I'm really looking forward to a solution of this annoying bug.

[Alessandro Ranaldi (ciaolo)]

This happens to me too. I think that this is trigged when I open Firefox if libreoffice is opened fullscreen. Then unity doesn't hide until I close libreoffice. It stays on even if I change desktop.

I made a mistake, I wanted to write "libreoffice is opened maximized"

[Omer Akram (om26er)]

thanks for the bug report. Is that still an issue in Ubuntu 12.04?

[Daniel Centore (dcentore)]

No longer affects me. I've changed the status to "Fix Released."

[John Pye (jdpipe)]

This problem seems to have re-emerged. I am on Ubuntu 16.04 using LibreOffice Fresh 5.2.4.2 from the LO packaging team (PPA). I will report the issue over there.
