I experienced the same as Martin Wildam. Two days ago I upgraded from Ubuntu 12.04 LTS to 14.04 LTS. Many month ago I edited the Quicklist of the LO Writer-Icon using Ubuntu Tweak. This action resulted in a file named libreoffice-writer.desktop in ~/.local/share/applications. After upgrading to Ubuntu 14.04 LTS this file was used again and I faced the problem with double icons of Writer in the Launcher. I deleted the file named libreoffice-writer.desktop in ~/.local/share/applications. Now I have always only one icon of Writer in the Launcher because Ubuntu now uses the original file in /usr/share/applications.
In short: The problem occurs maybe when the file named libreoffice- writer.desktop in ~/.local/share/applications was edited manually and therefor is not compatible anymore. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to bamf in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1026426 Title: LibreOffice Unity integration - opening an .odt file from dash or nautilus should yield correct icon and allow switching between the subsequently opened LO windows Status in BAMF Application Matching Framework: Fix Released Status in BAMF 0.2 series: Fix Released Status in BAMF 0.3 series: Fix Released Status in “bamf” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “bamf” source package in Precise: Fix Released Status in “bamf” source package in Quantal: Fix Released Bug description: IMPACT: See description. SRU TESTCASE: 0. make sure libreoffice writer is not pinned to the launcher 1. open libreoffice writer 2. save a .odt file 3. close libreoffice 4. open the .odt file directly from the location it was saved to. What should happen: a new icon for libreoffice writer should appear, not the generic libreoffice icon. REGRESSION POTENTIAL: Low, has already been well tested, but test again everything in this bug report. -----ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION----- LibreOffice applications are not coming up on the launcher properly as of a few weeks ago (can't remember exactly when). If Calc or Draw is locked to launcher, all is normal. Opening a specific application via the dash works as normal too. However, problems arise if you open a document directly (from the dash or double clicking in Nautilus) when there is no icon pinned to the launcher: Case #1 A white generic "Liberoffice" icon appears - not the proper application icon (eg a green one for Calc, a yellow one for Draw). If more documents are opened, no more wee triangles appear and the icon becomes useless: it cannot be clicked to switch to any open instance. There is no way to switch to it if the window is minimized, as now LibreOffice no longer appears in the alt-tab switcher. Close LibreOffice. Open a file directly again. Case #2 Now the proper icon appears - but with an empty hole in between launcher and icon. If more documents are opened the white triangles appear and alt-tab still works, but the hole remains. Sometimes the hole is two icons wide. Close LibreOffice. Repeat. Case #1 now reapers, and it will go back and forth ad infinitum. Note that I don't get this problem with Writer or Impress, which is pretty weird. [EDIT: a number of people are also seeing the bug with Writer and Impress] I've tried this with LibreOffice 3.5.3.2 and the PPA version (currently 3.5.5.3). I've also tested using lo-menubar and not, but it makes no difference. I've also tested it on two separate computers using Precise and purged all of LibreOffice and reinstalled... all to no avail. Thanks. EDIT: This bug had been previously reported (and fixed) in Bug #842566. Please do not mark this report as a duplicate of the afore-mentioned as it has been asked to create a new report when this issue reappeared (see this comment: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bamf/+bug/842566/comments/142) WORKAROUND: Missing windows can be found by using the super + W (for QWERTY keyboards; super + Z for AZERTY keyboards) to use the "spread" function. This is also possible by using something like Ubuntu Tweak and setting a "hotcorner" wich triggers the spread function.
