Using 13.10 64b Unity. Found this fix to regain use of Menu Bar Hot Keys (Mnemonics): Remove indicator-appmenu via Synaptic or via Terminal: sudo apt-get remove indicator-appmenu. Log out/in. Not certain yet if this creates any other limitations or causes any buggy behavior, but it does allow for Alt+letter to pull down menus. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to indicator-appmenu in Ubuntu.

I suspect there is something wrong with the libreoffice-gtk package if removing it enables the Alt key shortcuts to work.

Comment #79 doesn't work for me. But it guided me to my (working) solution! First of all I didn't found any .deb package at www.libreoffice.org. Just .rpm was avaliable. So I found old (and magically also most new) versions at: http://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/ I downloaded and installed libreoffice 4.2.0.1 with #80 's instructions and alt + worked!!

[Dx-packages] [Bug 739184] Re: [Libreoffice] Mnemonics do not work in Unity
Comment #79 works for me, thanks. So right now the options for users are: (a) Use the default Ubuntu install of LibreOffice: Your Alt+? keys don't work, so you can't open the File menu by pressing Alt+F, etc. (b) Remove "libreoffice-gtk": Your Alt+? keys work, but it looks very different to every other application on your system, and has lots of minor but disruptive bugs like being unable to maximize the window fully. (c) Remove the Ubuntu version of LibreOffice and install the one from the libreoffice.org: Everything works, but it lacks some minor Unity integration, as mentioned above. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to indicator-appmenu in Ubuntu.

[Dx-packages] [Bug 739184] Re: [Libreoffice] Mnemonics do not work in Unity
Confirming that the workaround from comment #52 works, making the
Alt+key shortcuts ("mnemonics", if you must abuse the English language)
work happily in Unity in Ubuntu 13.04.
To recap and update slightly, do this:
1. Completely remove LibreOffice: sudo apt-get purge libreoffice*
2. Go to www.libreoffice.org and download the correct .deb.tar.gz for your OS,
either 32 or 64 bit.
3. Unzip the file.
4. Change to the DEBS directory in the unzipped archive: cd [name of
newly-created directory]/DEBS
5. Install every one of the sebs as superuser: sudo dpkg -i *.deb
To test, at the prompt type libreoffice and press Tab. As of 10
November 2013, the above process installs a program called
libreoffice4.1, but presumably the name will change with the version.
I can report that:
- unlike the standard LO, this one responds when you press Alt+F, Alt+E and so
on;
- it also handles the defined shortcuts as expected, for example Ctrl+D is fill
down (which it isn't in OpenOffice, unless you change it - I hated that!);
- unlike standard LO with the libreoffice-gtk package removed, this does allow
the window to work properly (eg maximise, minimise, etc) and uses the proper
Open dialog box and so on;
- unlike OpenOffice, this doesn't have the irritating display bug where every
item you select from a dropdown or type in an edit field remains and the fields
get steadily darker as they're used because, apparently, the function to clear
the rectangle before updating it is broken -- this may be an NVIDIA issue, but
it's irritating nonetheless and I'm glad it's gone.
- the menus aren't integrated with the Macintosh-like top bar of Unity, which I
don't care about but YMMV.
Only downside appears to be the icons for the software, which look like
a standard Windows 3.1-era "text file" icon. Meh, I can live with a
little ugliness.

I don't understand how this bug can persist throughout several Ubuntu releases. It means Ubuntu doesn't have a functional office suite.
