I see the same thing in writer. I'm on 12.10, having done a dist-upgrade from 12.04. There doesn't seem to be a system to when it happens. I've had to docs open at the same and one working and one not. For me keyboard shortcuts that do not depend on ALT still work even when the menu stops working (e.g. F11 for Styles and Formatting).
Is there any diagnostic I could run to help fix the problem? -- 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/1085169 Title: LibreOffice Menus Stop Working even with libreoffice>=1:3.6.2~rc2-0ubuntu4 and indicator- appmenu>=12.10.3-0ubuntu2.1 Status in “indicator-appmenu” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: When using LibreOffice with Ubuntu 12.10 64 bit, the menus will stop working. That is, the menu is showing at the top of the screen, and you can select a menu item, however nothing happens. Once the behavior starts, none of the menu items work, including File Exit. The only way to get the menus to work again, is to quit Writer and restart the program. This is with NVidia driver...not sure if it happens with other video cards. This is with libreoffice version >= 1:3.6.2~rc2-0ubuntu4 and indicator-appmenu 12.10.3-0ubuntu2.1 (currently in quantal-proposed) ONLY.
