libreoffice fullscreen causes errors in unity

[Satchit Bhogle]

OS: Ubuntu 11.04 stable
Application: Libreoffice 3.3.3 stack, installed via PPA
Unity v3.8.16-0ubuntu1~natty1 (unity)

On entering and exiting Libreoffice Writer fullscreen, pressing Super or the Ubuntu button causes the Launcher to turn grey. Dash fails to be called up, and quicklists do not load. Holding Super fails to display the relevant hotkeys for applications on the Launcher (only those for workspace switcher and trash show). Pressing Super, clicking the Ubuntu button or clicking on the Launcher restores the Launcher to colour, but the functions remain broken until command "unity --replace" is run. Note: "functions" are only launcher application hotkeys, quicklists and Dash. Clicking on icons still works.

The problem does not arise with LibreOffice Calc on fullscreen. Indeed, after exiting fullscreen mode, all functionality broken by Writer is restored, except for quicklists. When both are running fullscreen, the same thing happens. Calling up and dismissing Dash restores quicklists.

As a side-note: When entering fullscreen mode for LibreOffice Writer or Calc, Unity's panel and launcher are both hidden for ALL applications on that workspace. Other workspaces are unaffected. Window decorations for windowed applications are unaffected.

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

Testing in Ubuntu 14.04, I see no issues with LibreOffice fullscreen and Unity. Please file a new issue, if problems persist.
