About the workaround as stated in comment #32 : I think it's libreoffice-gtk that needs to be uninstalled (or both).
Regarding the newest LibreOffice version 4.0.1-rc2, you may also be interested in other bugs related to Unity's global menu integration (at least in Ubuntu 12.04 precise ) and that can be worked around in the same way : - no icons, check signs and highlight in the menus #1153350 - broken menus after use or equation editor in Writer bug #1073266 this one you cannot work around this way : - no HUD (at least in Writer) bug #1045353 -- 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/739184 Title: [Libreoffice] Mnemonics do not work in Unity Status in Unity: Triaged Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: When lo-menubar is installed and LibreOffice is open with a document, the keyboard shortcuts to access menus like Alt + F for file etc do not work. Menu keyboard shortcuts are working for other apps via indicator-menu. WORKAROUND: Disable the global menu by removing the package "libreoffice-gtk". This might be solved if bug #1064962 is solved.
