Bug Description

What happens:

When trying to use all the textual menus in libreoffice they appear to shoort, only one option is visible at a time and you need to use cursor up/down to locate the option you are looking for (can do it also by pointing the mouse to the arrow up/down in the menu, but it is too fast scrolling)

I've found this situation with and without lo-menubar installed. Using Unity as interface.

Attached you'll find a screenshot of what you see after clicking on "File". Instead of the full menu you can see a small menu that has room just for one menu item at a time.

This doesn't happen for non-text menus, (for example "font color", "text background" , "borders" on LibreOffice Calc), and happens also for contextual menus (right-click on a cell, cell selection, row, column) and when clicking on icon-menus down-arrow (like the "new sheet" icon in the icon bar, that has a "down arrow" icon besides it. The menu corresponding to that "down arrow" also appears to small)

What is expected to happen:
When I click on a menu item (top bar, "down arrow" besides an icon menu or contextual menu at a cell/row/column level) the full menu should be visible, including all its menu items.

Not reproducable in either 12.04 nor 13.10 here. Assume it to be fixed in 13.10. For 12.04, a precise reproduction scenario would be needed.
