Public bug reported: Background:
I have 3 monitors (in a left/middle/right configuration) and an NVIDIA Quadro NVS 450. This means I have to use Xinerama, which means Unity falls back to Unity 2D. Most programs work fine. Problem: LibreOffice apps (like Calc and Writer) appear to have several bugs in their menu implementation: 1. The menus are per-window, instead of being at the top of the screen in the panel like other apps. This is fine with me, and *not* the topic of this bug report. Presumably if global menus become a configurable option, the mode in which libreoffice menus are currently operating will be expected to work correctly. I mention it only for completeness. 2. When a window is on the middle or right monitor, the menus open in the wrong position. For windows on the middle monitor, the menus open on the right monitor. For menus on the right monitor, the menus open on the correct monitor but align to the right of the menu item text. See the attached screenshots for clarification. LibreOffice apps are the only ones I've seen that exhibit this behavior. Note that this bug is similar to bug 974900, but is not the same. In that case, the menus are incorrectly right aligned (like in my right monitor case), but they span monitors. In my case, the menu will shift right a bit to avoid spilling onto the middle monitor. Let me know if there is additional detail I can provide. 19:40:52 nturner@selma(~)$ apt-cache policy libreoffice-calc libreoffice-calc: Installed: 1:3.5.3-0ubuntu1 Candidate: 1:3.5.3-0ubuntu1 Version table: *** 1:3.5.3-0ubuntu1 0 900 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-updates/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 1:3.5.2-2ubuntu1 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise/main amd64 Packages ** Affects: libreoffice (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/998931 Title: menus appear on wrong monitor To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/998931/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
