File - Wizards - Letter fails silently

[David Richfield]

In LibreOffice Writer, the menu selection "File - Wizards - [x]" fails silently where x is "Letter", "Fax", "Agenda" or "Web page". The Euro conversion, Presentation and Document Converter Wizards all work. If this is due to a required package not being present, there should be some kind of error message.

As per http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1778814 , installing libreoffice-java-common solves the problem, but THIS DOES NOT CLOSE THIS BUG, because a silent failure is not OK: the menu items should at least be greyed out if they are not available.

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