With a fresh install of Ubuntu 13.10 (Saucy) - 64amd today. I got the following issue:
1. Open new Writer document. 2. Insert > Object > Formula... 3. Enter 1+1, click on the document (not the formula) to close the editor. 4. Click again to enter the mode in which you can enter text on the document. 5. Repeat step 2. Expected: "Formula..." menu enabled. Ready to insert a new formula on the document. Actual: "Formula..." menu disabled (greyed out). Workaround: After step 5 click the document to close the menu. Hit enter to start on a new line. Repeat step 2. Now I get what I expect. I use the HUD which does not show the insert formula command when the menu is disabled. As Till Sachau suspected, this could be related to Bug #1045353 LibreOffice: Version: 4.1.3.2 Build ID: 410m0(Build:2) -- 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 Unity: New Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released 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.
