Alt-F menu automatically opens "New" submenu intermittently, so alt-f s opens a spreadsheet instead of saving OS: Ubuntu 18.04 up-to-date on patches Using the F10 key to open the menu works as expected Tested for Writer and Calc Mouse cursor position not the issue. Basically I use Alt-F, S to save my current document and sometimes it opens a new spreadsheet instead. Tried duplicating under Windows 7, didn't see it. But since it is intermittent I may not have tried enough.

Please provide the detailed version information of your LibreOffice, available at Help > About LibreOffice dialog (use the button after "Version" to copy the information and paste here), so that others can reproduce your problem. FWIW, on Windows 7.0.2 Alt+F works as normal.

lthallmayer: are you still seeing this with a recent version?
No. Currently using Version: 7.6.6.3 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 60(Build:3) CPU threads: 6; OS: Linux 5.4; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); UI: en-US Ubuntu package version: 4:7.6.6-0ubuntu0.18.04.1~lo1 Calc: threaded Ubuntu 18.04, up to date I trained myself to use Ctrl-S instead to deal with the bug. Used Alt-F with mouse cursor off of the menu area and it opened the "new" sub menu automatically but the focus is still in the main menu so when I type "s" it opens the save dialog box not a spreadsheet.

You said no, but the rest of the comment seems to be confirming the same unwanted behaviour, so I'll set back to unconfirmed. Might be a quirk in the old Ubuntu.
I said "No" because with the bug typing the "s" would open a spreadsheet because the focus moved to the submenu. While it is still opening the submenu, that is a similar but different problem. Now "Alt- f S" saves the document as expected.
