i see the same prob in fresh install ubntu 12.10 (not upgraded fm prev ver). My libreoffice is a ppa version installed like this
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/ppa
sudo apt-get install libreoffice libreoffice-gnome libreoffice-help-en-us libreoffice-pdfimport

Workarounds that i've tried
-> switch to other application then back to libreoffice -> doesn't always work
-> minimize & maximize libreoffice -> hasn't worked tonight

i'm wondering if this is contributing to the problem;
sudo apt-get autoremove appmenu-gtk appmenu-gtk3 appmenu-qt

i got it from noobslab

Some time back, i had a problem with acrobat reader, menu items were not showing up. I did the above & the menu items appeared. I now blindly continue doing that since it worked. i'm feeling very rotten now bec i've just told the whole world how silly they are paying microsoft tons of money. Now looks like i'm the dunce! :(
