Description maloureiro 2024-02-26 12:10:12 UTC
Description:
When opening the application, the select template dialog appears, but sometimes with no focus and hidden behind other windows. If the main application is maximized and then restored, the menu bar is invisible, although mouse hover reveals the position of each menu. Double-clicking on the invisible menu bar maximizes the window.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open impress
2. Do not select a template
3. Maximize main window
4. Restore it by either double-clicking the menu bar or pressing the restore button

Actual Results:
The menu bar disappears

Expected Results:
The menu bar to be visible, as normally does


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes

Additional Info:
Even if the select template dialog is open, the menu bar of the main application should not be affected.

I am not able to interact with the main window while the template picker is open. I tested 6.4 and and 7.6.
Can you please test a currently-supported version, 7.6 or 24.2?
Thank you.
Comment 2 maloureiro 2024-02-28 11:05:57 UTC
Sorry, 6.4.7.2 was the latest version provided by Canonical for Ubuntu 20.04.

I'll add the PPA and upgrade it.
Comment 3 maloureiro 2024-02-28 11:14:54 UTC
I've updated to

Version: 7.6.5.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 60(Build:2)
CPU threads: 16; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: pt-PT (en_US.UTF-8); UI: en-GB
Ubuntu package version: 4:7.6.5-0ubuntu0.20.04.1~lo1
Calc: threaded


The issue persists.
Although it is not possible to interact with the application, it is still possible to interact with the menu (File Edit View ... Help).
It is also possible to double-click the menu to maximize the application.

- Are you able to share a video or at least some screenshots of what this issue looks like?
- Have you somehow activated the "global menu" on Ubuntu (i.e. the window menus integrated into the top panel)?
- I assume you are using GNOME, given that I see gtk3 in your version information. But can you confirm which desktop environment?
- Do you use Wayland? (If on GNOME, go to Settings > About > Windowing system)

(Sounds a bit like bug 149728, bug 152362 and bug 156387.)

Thank you!

Screen recording of the issue

I've made a screen recording of the issue.

As long as the template dialog is open, the title bar becomes invisible, but it is still possible to interact with it.

My desktop environment is Unity and I'm not using global menus.

OK, so you are using Unity's global menu, but Unity has been dropped from Ubuntu for a while now, and it's status as a community project seems unsure.

Are other applications affected by the same issue?

I'd suggest moving to GNOME if you can, and if you want to keep using the same global menus, install one of the global menu addins to emulate the same behaviour.

Michael, what's your opinion on this? "Won't fix" as we can hardly continue supporting Unity in its current state?
Comment 9 maloureiro 2024-03-05 09:39:40 UTC
I tried on Gnome and the title bar doesn't become invisible.
It does seem to be a Unity issue.

Comment 11 Stéphane Guillou (stragu) 2024-03-06 07:02:31 UTC
If you are happy with using GNOME, and seeing that similar issues have existed for a while in Unity[1], I think we can close as "not our bug".

Please set back to "unconfirmed" if you think otherwise.

Thank you!

Sounds reasonable to me, comment 9 and comment 11 sound like this might indeed be an bug in Unity rather than LO.
Comment 13 maloureiro 2024-03-09 00:00:46 UTC
It will take a much serious bug to make it worth it to go back to GNOME, even though Unity is mostly obsolete.

Thank you for the time you spent on this.
