Dear all, Referring to a recent conversation at OMG Ubuntu [1], several users (me included) experience a non-visible menu bar in Ubuntu 16.04 after the recent upgrade to version 5.2.0.4. This graphical bug is shown in [2]. Has this bug already been noted and is there a solution to solve the glitch and correctly display the menu bar? Thankfully, ~Robert [1] http://disq.us/p/1atzgnw [2] https://a.disquscdn.com/uploads/mediaembed/images/4079/7857/original.jpg?w=800&h
Not reproducible for me under Unity and Radiance theme with Version: 5.2.0.4 Build ID: 1:5.2.0~rc4-0ubuntu1~xenial2 Threads CPU : 4; Version de l'OS :Linux 4.4; UI Render : par défaut; Locale : fr-FR (fr_FR.UTF-8) What is your Ubuntu theme? Do you use Unity or another desktop manager? Best regards. JBF
Dear Jean-Baptiste, I am using Ubuntu 16.04 with the Unity desktop. I don't think I have ever changed any of the default theme settings. The command: gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme returns "Ambiance" and not "Radiance". What is Ubuntu 16.04's default theme? Thankfully, ~Robert
Hi Robert, Looks more as a displacement then a missing tool bar?
Dear Cor, The menu bar is definitely there [1]. ~Robert [1] https://i.imgur.com/iUQuuhF.png
(In reply to Robert Orzanna from comment #2) > [...] > What is Ubuntu 16.04's default theme? Ambiance. Thank you for your answer. Please, could you try with a clean new user profile? https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile Best regards. JBF
Dear JBF, The same problem occurs with a blank (new) profile. Warmly, ~Robert
Can it be a problem related to the libreoffice-gtk* packages? ~Robert
Created attachment 126827 [details] GIF animation showing two menus I am just noticing that there are two menus being displayed under Unity. Shouldn't this ideally just be the top one integrated into the Unity top bar? Please have a look at my attached GIF. Warmly, ~Robert
Hi Robert, I don't have the recent version integrated in Unity, so can't see the effect. Can you check if there is a difference with the OS setting Appearance > Behavior.. menu's for a window / visibility menu's ?
I am also affected by this bug. I use Ubuntu 14.04.5 with Unity (with Xenial HWE stack). I found a workaround to make the invisible menu bar disappear. Start LO first from the Start Centre then open the required document. If you start LO from a document, opening a second document also makes the invisible menu bar disappear.
I am also affected by this bug. I use Ubuntu 14.04.5 with Unity (with Xenial HWE stack). I've updated LO through PPA « fresh » http://ppa.launchpad.net/libreoffice/ppa/ubuntu http://img4.hostingpics.net/pics/803659Capturedu20160815012827.png And I confirm Amr Ibrahim's workaround gets back menus in their expected place. Whilst menus in LibreOffice Start Center are also broken…
Hi all affected by this issue: - did you install the libreoffice-gtk* packages? - what happens if you launch LibreOffice from the terminal by entering the following command (assuming libreoffice-gtk* package have been installed) : SAL_USE_VCLPUGIN="gtk" && libreoffice or SAL_USE_VCLPUGIN="gtk3" && libreoffice Best regards. JBF
I have all libreoffice-gtk* packages installed. ------------------------------------------------ Here is the terminal output: :~$ SAL_USE_VCLPUGIN="gtk" && libreoffice ** (process:8937): WARNING **: require a newer gtk than 3.10 for theme expectations ------------------------------------------------ :~$ SAL_USE_VCLPUGIN="gtk3" && libreoffice ** (process:9020): WARNING **: require a newer gtk than 3.10 for theme expectations
I have the following libreoffice-gtk packages installed but the menu bar is still not properly visible: orschiro@x230:~$ dpkg -l | grep libreoffice-gtk # grep deb package ii libreoffice-gtk 1:5.2.0~rc4-0ubuntu1~xenial2 all transitional package for the GTK+ 2 integration ii libreoffice-gtk2 1:5.2.0~rc4-0ubuntu1~xenial2 amd64 office productivity suite -- GTK+ 2 integration rc libreoffice-gtk3 1:5.2.0~rc4-0ubuntu1~xenial2 amd64 office productivity suite -- GTK+ 3 integration orschiro@x230:~$ SAL_USE_VCLPUGIN="gtk" && libreoffice --writer W: Unknown node under /registry/extlang: deprecated W: Unknown node under /registry/grandfathered: comments W: Unknown node under /registry/grandfathered: comments orschiro@x230:~$ SAL_USE_VCLPUGIN="gtk3" && libreoffice --writer W: Unknown node under /registry/extlang: deprecated W: Unknown node under /registry/grandfathered: comments W: Unknown node under /registry/grandfathered: comments

I use Ubuntu 14.04.5 (32-bit) with Unity (with Xenial HWE stack). My terminal output shows exactly the same message as Amr Ibrahim (only the process ID is different). Also, opening a (writer) document directly from my file explorer shows the invisible extra menu-bar, but when opening a new document from within LO (with LO already running, that is), the newly opened document does not show the additional menu-bar and is integrated with Unity as expected. Moreover, opening a writer-document from my file explorer shows the extra menu-bar, but closing this file (but keepin LO running) and reopening the same file from within LO, results in correct Unity integration (no extra menu-bar).
ghost menu bar gone after installing libreoffice-gtk3
Dear makilakixki, You don't see the following black behaviour of the interface [1]? Warmly, -Robert [1] http://i.imgur.com/iFFNWmX.png
Hi I have reported a duplicate of this bug before. Here is some points from that. When I upgraded: lo-gtk2 was removed automatically by intelligent updater. (I am guessing as no more dependency of that package. Probably lo-gtk3 takes over. - ???) However the theme has set back to a (Windows 3.1) style without any theme. After Google search I re-installed lo-gtk2 and ghost menu appeared. Previously (before update) I have installed this lo-gtk3 but it has changed everything to black as Robert says. I am guessing this would be for Ubuntu theme integration and is the intended behaviour. However since it is not usable with sifr icon theme (and it seems neither with breeze) I have removed lo-gtk3. And I left with the bug. I personally believe gtk3 would be the solution to get rid of the ghost menubar, but in that case we need icon theme that works with it. Probably the opposite of sifr icons if someone would make that. Hope that helps somewhat.
Created attachment 126947 [details] libreoffice-gtk3 and radiance theme
libreoffice-gtk3 installation solves the ghost menu issue but creates a black toolbar issue as shown in the picture you uploaded. This black toolbar issue is only present as long as ambiance theme is used. As can be seen in the picture attached radiance theme looks ok.
I can confirm lo-gtk3 solves the problem with radiance. My only problem is: I don't particularly like radiance bar on top. However I think it is great work-around.
Sorry to add another "me too" to the thread, but, what kind of info is needed to diagnose the bug atm? Regards
Should be fixed with https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=72eb18e520ea8165a6a20958a1551f55e5e14cab
Thank you so much, Maxim! :-) Warmly, -Robert

Indeed it fixes the bug in master. Do you plan to backport this fix to 5.2 branch ? Note: my comment #1 was wrong due to misunderstanding of the bug description. I reproduce the problem with LO 5.2 with GTK2 vclplugin. Best regards. JBF
