Uninstalled libreoffice-gtk, no change. libreoffice-gtk3 was not installed. Reproducible with https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/libreoffice-prereleases?field.series_filter=quantal .

Used the System Monitor to end the officebin process since there was no way to close the LibreOffice calc window. Started LibreOffice Pres again, when through a sucessful recovery, and opened edit on the data for the chart. The new data was in the table but again in the situation that there was no way to cancel/close the Data Table window. The banner has no close option. Had to force close via the system monitor.

Cliff Carson, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. Could you please attach a document that demonstrates this problem?

As well, could you please attach a screencast of the problem following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Screencast ?

[Cliff Carson (ccarson1)]

The get into the condition start LibreOffice Impress, load the attached document, edit the first chart (Electric Usage), and edit the data. This bring up the Data Table window but there is no way that I can close the window out after doing the edits. Will attach a screen shot of this condition.

Cliff Carson, thank you for providing the requested information. This is unreproducible in Xubuntu 12.10 32-bit. If you uninstall the following package:
lo-menubar

does this change anything?

As well, what extensions do you have installed?

Thank you for your understanding.

Cliff Carson, thank you for providing the requested information. Do you have libreoffice-gtk and/or libreoffice-gtk3 installed? If so, could you please remove each separately, and comment on if this changes anything?

[Cliff Carson (ccarson1)]

Removed libreoffice-gtk and retried the presentation. It certain had a different look and feel (fonts and windows) but still had the Data Table window banner without a way to close the window. Don't recall if I tried a right click to open the select box but with this attempt did that and was able to select "close" to get out of the window. I did try this presentation under my 12.04 and the Data Table window had the close option on the banner line.

[penalvch (penalvch)]

Cliff Carson, did you also try removing libreoffice-gtk3?

I tested this in Xubuntu 64-bit and still could not reproduce this problem.

As a potential WORKAROUND, does the following PPA demonstrate the same problem https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/libreoffice-prereleases?field.series_filter=quantal ?

Thank you for your understanding.

[Cliff Carson (ccarson1)]

libreoffice-gtk3 was not installed. Just to try something, re-installed libreoffice-gtk and still had the problem. Installed libreoffice-gtk3 and still had the problem. Removed libreoffice and installed the PPA level, still have the problem.

In all cases above doing right click and select close does close the Data Table window, just didn't see this initially.

[Cliff Carson (ccarson1)]

Had this problem on two different 12.10 but both built with a release upgrade from 12.10 beta. Updated one of the systems from the 12.10 distribution level of 12.10 and the problem does not exists.

[Cliff Carson (ccarson1)]

Reproduced the problem on the system that was updated to 12.10 distribution by installing GNOME3.

[Cliff Carson (ccarson1)]

Added

add-apt-repository ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3

to the repository and after update the Data Table banner lacks a close option.

[penalvch (penalvch)]

Cliff Carson, thank you for your comments. Is this reproducible if you purge the GNOME3 ppa (ex. ppa-purge) and switch to a GUI provided by the Ubuntu repositories (ex. Unity, gnome-shell, xfce, etc.)?

[Cliff Carson (ccarson1)]

Ok, GNOME3 was not the cause, still had the problem after removing. Went back and determined things changed since installing 12.10 distribution. Found that the real cause is the theme you are using. If you set Adwaita or High Contrast or High Contrast Inverse the Data Table banner looses it's close and max/min options. The Ambiance and Radiance work fine.

[Rob Adams (readams)]

saw this also. I found that alt-f4 works as a workaround

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