What happens : after inserting a formula in a writer document, many menu entries are grayed out What should happen : menu entries should remain normally available Steps to reproduce : 1 - open a new writer document 2 - write a bit a text and create a new ligne 3 - go to menu Insert > Objet > Formula 4 - Unselect the formula by clic elsewhere on the text (no need to edit the formula) 5 - go to menu Insert : all menu lignes (or sub-menus) are grayed out except "Image" How to have the menu again : 1 - save the document 2 - close it 3 - reopen it (! once this did not work, I had to close and reopen the session) OS : Ubuntu 12.04 64bits Tests : - Falling back to libreoffice 3.5.7.2 : no problem on this version - Reinstalling libreoffice 4.0.1.2 (from ppa) after completely removing version 3.5 and with default parameters (~/.config/libreoffice was erased) : problem is back again However, other people with the same OS and libreoffice version do not have this problem. -> problem has no relation with my personnal libreoffice settings -> problem is on version 4.0.1.2. not with the version shipped with the OS -> problem occur on my system, not on some other people system with similar installation
The bug is related to the integration of libreoffice into Unity's global menu. See: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/1073266 Therefore I close it as not_our_bug here.
