Libreoffice has no gobal menu bar when first opened

[Mitchell]

Binary package hint: libreoffice

Firslty, the tags in this report are wrong, as gathered by the ubuntu-bug program. I'm running libreoffice, and am using Natty with the full unity version (running compiz), not 2d. That said, I've tried libreoffice in the 2d version, and the same problem exists.

When first opened, and maximised fullscreen, libreoffice has no global menu. This means I can't close, minimize, unmaximise by the buttons in the left hand corner of the screen, as there are none. Seems I need to either use the expo plugin to zoom out, call up the unity dockbar, or drag the window from the top of the screen, then maximise it again,. Sometimes I need to do all of these things. Is there any work being done on this? Thanks.

I'm seeing a variation of the original bug description.

If I start LibreOffice, usually Calc, it opens full screen with global menu and close, maximise and minimise buttons. If I click the maximise button to restore the program to its default window size then the global menu and buttons disappear. I have not yet seen missing menu and buttons at program start but I have seen them disappear as described several times.

Running Natty from build 20110321, fully updated.

In addition to my last comment I wish to add that I see the buttons disappear when running Unity and also when in Classic Desktop mode.

I have a similar problem. All the other applications have a Global menu on my laptop except libreoffice. libreoffice opens and runs fine but the Global menu is not incorporated.

Me too. When dragging the top bar (menu/titlebar) to beneath it (and the window restores), the problem is fixed.

Sorry, I thought this was a duplicate. Can someone please check whether it is a duplicate?
