Bug Description

I noticed this after downloading and installing the bzr544 build of Unity-2d. As you can see in the screenshot - the icon is there but the label is no longer there. I think there was alos an update to LibreOffice and I recall in the update list something about a unity update for Libreoffice in there bu t I do not recall what it was. It is the only icon, as you can see, of the LibreOffice icons that has no label.

Okay, after doing some investigation - I have discovered it is not a issue with unity-2d. I have reported this in the wrong place. The problem is that when LibreOffice was updated, the desktop file for the LibreOffice StartCenter contained this at the end of the file:

Name[en]=

There is already a line earlier in the file that reads this:
Name[en]=LibreOffice

So it was just a simple matter of removing that last line and then logging out and back into LibreOffice.
I will see if I can report this to the LibreOffice guys and you mark this as invalid.

Hmm, they seem to have the "Report A Bug" link disabled on their page. Do you guys have a link to where I can report this?
