I confirm the bug with LibreOffice 4.0.1.2 (from ppa:libreoffice) on Ubuntu 12.04 Precise 64 bits.
Steps to reproduce are even more simple than what is described. Steps to reproduce : 1 - open a new writer document 2 - write a bit of text and create a new ligne 3 - go to menu Insert > Objet > Formula 4 - Unselect the formula by two clics 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" (this is normal behaviour if the formula was still selected) 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) How to "solve" the problem : uninstall package libreoffice-gtk (and libreoffice-gnome ?), responsible for integrating libreoffice 4 into the global menu of Unity (libreoffice 4 does use package lo-menubar any more) This bug is related to THE INTEGRATION OF LIBREOFFICE INTO UNITY'S GLOBAL MENU -- 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/1073266 Title: LibreOffice menus misbehave after using the Equation editor Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: LibreOffice file, edit, view, history, etc, (the menu items on the top bar of Unity) become completely empty (clicking on them produces an empty menu, no options, can only be dismissed by clicking outside of it) or misbehave (don't show correct options, stop responding, or don't do anything when clicked) after trying to use said menus while using the Equation editor. Steps to reproduce: - Open LibreOffice Writer. - Go to insert->object->Formula - When the formula editor opens, click "File" to open the File menu. - Exit from the formula editor by clicking anywhere outside the editor. - Do a few normal operations such as, resizing the window, maximizing the window, typing some normal text - Go in and back out of the Equation editor once more. - None of the LibreOffice menus in the top bar of Unity should be working properly anymore. Hardware is an Acer Aspire S3, using Ubuntu 12.10, using the latest LibreOffice packages (updated this morning). I can't take a screenshot of this, since having the menu open makes print screen not work. It happens reliably every time I use Writer.
