Window widgets not shown when opening a doc

[nickm]

Binary package hint: lo-menubar

MY SYSTEM:
Release 11.04: fresh Natty Beta install, fully dist-upgraded since.

THE PACKAGE VERSION:
lo-menubar:
  Installed: 0.1.0-0ubuntu1
  Candidate: 0.1.0-0ubuntu1
  Version table:
 *** 0.1.0-0ubuntu1 0

        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

THE BUG:
When you open Libreoffice Writer from its application icon (ie: as a blank document) maximised, the window gadgets show correctly;

However, if you open a document directly from Nautilus, then the close, minimize and maximise widgets do NOT appear on the global bar. Furthermore, you cannot "drag" the maximised window out of its maximised state. You can make the widgets re-appear by losing focus and then regaining focus (eg: click on Nautilus in the launcher and the back on Writer).

HOW TO REPLICATE:
1) Make sure that LibreOffice loads in a maximised state.
2) Close any current LibreOffice windows.
3) Double-click on any .odf (or .doc) file
4) When LibreOffice writer launches with the contents of the doc, you'll note that the three window widgets are not present.
5) Click on the "home" icon in the unity bar.
6) Click back on the LibreOffice document icon in the unity bar.
7) The window widgets will have re-appeared.

Can someone have the decency at least to confirm they have read this? I'm not sure if users should be bothered to submit bug reports.

Wow. Nearly two weeks later, and still not even the decency of an ack.

I wonder whether this person's duplicate report will be treated as shabbily:
