Description Rafael Lima 2021-11-29 20:11:03 UTC
I use the Tabbed interface on KDE (Kf5) with the standard menu hidden, which is done by going to the View tab, then the "View" dropdown list and then disable the "Menubar" option.

When I enter a formula object into a Writer/Impress/Calc document (using Math) and double-click it to edit the formula using LO Math, I am unable to access LO Math menus (f.i. the Format menu).

I should be able to show the standard menu by clicking the "Menubar" button at the top left corner of the Tabbed interface while on LO Math editor. However, on KDE when I click it, nothing happens. To overcome this issue I have to exit the formula editor, go back to the original document and enable the Menubar before double-clicking the formula again (now with the menu being shown).

On Windows this problem does not occur because every time I double-click a formula object the LO Math editor opens with the menubar enabled, regardless of its previous state in the original document (hidden or visible). And when I exit the formula editor, the menubar returns to its previous state.

I believe the Windows behavior was the one also intended for KDE, but for some reason it does not work.

Reproduced with the attached sample doc:

1) start Writer
2) switch to the "Tabbed" interface via "View" -> "User Interface", select "Tabbed", press "Apply to All", then "Close"
3) open attachment 176724 [details]
4) double-click on the formula
5) press the "Menubar" button at the top left of the tabbed interface

Note: The "Menubar" button was inactive (grayed out) most of the time in step 5 in my case, but not always.

When using the gtk3 VCL plugin instead, the menu bar shows up automatically once the formula is double-clicked, as is described for Windows in the description.
