Problem description: Steps to reproduce: 1. Press Alt-F 2. Fail to see File menu items expand 3. Use mouse to accomplish same while cursing Apple-centric testing... Current behavior: No UI access to top-level menu when installed in Ubuntu 12.10 Expected behavior: Alt-F would open File menu items for deeper selection Platform (if different from the browser): Browser: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.19 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/25.0.1323.1 Safari/537.19
Confirmed here after upgrading to Ubuntu 12.10, LibreOffice 3.6.2.2. None of the Alt+key combinations that are supposed to open top-level menus do anything.
Looks like the same symptoms as described here: http://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/14003/menu-shortcuts-in-lo-4/ Works for me in (LO 4.0.0.3 + Ubuntu 12.04.2), however does NOT work for Pansmanser: --- I am running LO 4.0.1.1 on Ubuntu 12.04 (32 bit Kernel Linux 3.2.0-38-generic-pae.) The top menubar does not have underlined letters, and none of the former shortcut keys work. --- There is also another error on Pansmanser's system (unknown if related): --- I would also like to be able switch off the global menu. This version of LibreOffice seems to ignore the switch in SystemSettings-Unsettings-Windows. ---
isn't this a problem with Unity? I never have problems with 'parallel' installed versions of LibreOffice (thus without sys integration).
Into a Loonix bin.
It does not work for me as well. Pressing "alt+f" does not open menu. Also in menu bar there is no shurtcuts indicator ("there is File" and not "_F_ile"). LibreOffice Version 4.0.2.2 (Build ID: 400m0(Build:2)) x86_64 GNU/Linux, ubuntu 12.04
Not reproducible on LO 3.6.6.2, installed from LibreOffice ppa (Ubuntu 12.04.2 32bit, kernel 3.2.0-41-generic-pae), Alt-F works as expected. As Cor Nouws said, probably it's related to Unity. Or related with any tweaking utility?

Could you test that with Unity disabled?
I am experiencing the same issue with LibreOffice/Unity. I use two installations of LibreOffice 4.0.x: 1) Windows Vista Enterprise - LibreOffice 4.0.2.2 - this installation allows the menu shortcut keys (eg. Alt + F --> Open File Menu) 2) Ubuntu 13.04 - LibreOffice 4.0.x - this installation DOES NOT ALLOW the menu shortcut keys This bug also appears (and has been better investigated) at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/739184. It appears to be an integration issue with Unity/Ubuntu and a workaround (with limitations) is offered: 'WORKAROUND: Disable the global menu by removing the package "libreoffice-gtk".'
closing as NOTOURBUG here for now as per: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/739184/comments/60
