I've tried to reproduce this bug and for me it's not happening as described.
What does happen, however, with 100% reliability, is that the actions are disabled when switching away from the window and back to it again. In the case of triggering actions like "Open" or "About" this would indeed cause the foreground window to be changed (to the open or about dialog). This is probably a unity-panel-service bug (probably in the appmenu indicator). For me, the bug does not happen with other actions like copy/paste that do not display new windows.... -- 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/1045372 Title: Menu bar in Unity is disabled Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Ubuntu Release: Ubuntu 12.10 Quantal Quetzal beta1 Package version: libreoffice-gtk Package version: 1:3.6.1~rc2-1ubuntu3 Behavior: Triggering an action from the menu, i.e. opening a file , turns the menu into disabled state. This happens randomly and sometimes also without any action triggers. This is a new issue we have discovered in the latest versions of Unity/Gtk+. This wrong behavior is not present in precise pangolin and Quantal Alpha 3. Can someone please confirm if this is an issue in Unity/Gtk+?
