No text in settings or options menus

[John Grimmett]

When I open any of the settings or options windows, there's no text in the options menus. This affects ALL settings dialogs. I can't change anything or work with any documents because of this.

To fix, I purged all LO files, then reinstalled from Software Center. I thought the issue might be related to the installation of LO in the /opt/ directory before the upgrade... that that installation might be conflicting with the new one. Nothing fixed.

2 screenshots attached.

Anyone else having this major issue?

Would this terminal output be of any help?

~$ libreoffice

I am finding comments around the web from people also feeling the affects of this bug. Unfortunately, none of them has reported it to Launchpad.

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

Using Ubuntu 12.04 + XFCE4.10 (from ppa).
I also had this issue.
FIXED (sort off): The menu became visible when I disabled display compositing. (Main Menu -> Settings -> Settings Manager -> Window Manager Tweaks -> Compositor -> Enable display compositing.
