apport-collect does not work for me because I am not the bug's reporter. However, I have tried to find a reliable way to reproduce this bug. I have found it to be very easy to reproduce on two computers, but it is not that easy to understand when it happens.
I have come to the conclusion that it is a race condition, because it happens more easily when start-up is slower. Sometimes the menu is shown and seems to work, but clicking on any menu item does nothing. Sometimes the shown menu is the menu of oosplash, instead of the menu of the application (Writer or Calc.) Sometimes the menu is shown only by doing Alt+F10 and not by holding down the Alt key or hovering the mouse on the top panel. Sometimes the menu is shown after switching to and from another window. There is no easy and reliable pattern for reproducing it, but it happens frequently. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1079618 Title: Menus do not show up when opening an existing file Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Description: Ubuntu 12.10 Release: 12.10 libreoffice version: Installed: 1:3.6.2~rc2-0ubuntu3 Candidate: 1:3.6.2~rc2-0ubuntu3 Version table: *** 1:3.6.2~rc2-0ubuntu3 0 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ quantal/universe i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status Possible related Packages installed: libreoffice 1:3.6.2~rc2-0ubuntu3 libreoffice-base 1:3.6.2~rc2-0ubuntu3 libreoffice-base-core 1:3.6.2~rc2-0ubuntu3 libreoffice-calc 1:3.6.2~rc2-0ubuntu3 libreoffice-common 1:3.6.2~rc2-0ubuntu3 libreoffice-core 1:3.6.2~rc2-0ubuntu3 libreoffice-draw 1:3.6.2~rc2-0ubuntu3 libreoffice-emailmerge 1:3.6.2~rc2-0ubuntu3 libreoffice-gnome 1:3.6.2~rc2-0ubuntu3 libreoffice-gtk 1:3.6.2~rc2-0ubuntu3 libreoffice-gtk3 1:3.6.2~rc2-0ubuntu3 libreoffice-help-en-us 1:3.6.2~rc2-0ubuntu3 libreoffice-impress 1:3.6.2~rc2-0ubuntu3 libreoffice-java-common 1:3.6.2~rc2-0ubuntu3 libreoffice-math 1:3.6.2~rc2-0ubuntu3 libreoffice-ogltrans 1:3.6.2~rc2-0ubuntu3 libreoffice-pdfimport 1.0.6+LibO3.6.2~rc2-0ubuntu3 libreoffice-presentation-minimizer 1.0.4+LibO3.6.2~rc2-0ubuntu3 libreoffice-presenter-console 1.1.1+LibO3.6.2~rc2-0ubuntu3 libreoffice-style-human 1:3.6.2~rc2-0ubuntu3 libreoffice-style-tango 1:3.6.2~rc2-0ubuntu3 libreoffice-writer 1:3.6.2~rc2-0ubuntu3 openjdk-6-jre:i386 openjdk-6-jre-headless:i386 openjdk-6-jre-lib If I open any libreoffice program manually I see the menus normally (like File - Save, Save as.. , etc).
