I have added Luc's ppa as in #99 above and can confirm that menus can now be accessed in pre-existing documents opened from Nautilus, Dash etc. However, comment #103 goes too far in saying 'libreOffice Global Menu now works perfectly':
The menu can be accessed *only* by using the pointing device or 'indicator menu' shortcut (Alt+F10 is the default, I think), which leaves two problems (related, I imagine) remaining: 1) Pressing ALT (with or without a shortcut key) fails to show the menu 2) HUD does not function within LO These problems seem to apply to any LO documents - whether new or opened from Nautilus, etc. Not being able to use ALT to show the menu is a major stumbling block for me, since it breaks the system-wide pattern of menus and shortcuts, which is by far the fastest way to to do frequent tasks. Back to my preferred workaround (sudo apt-get remove indicator-appmenu). Although that denies me the use of HUD in *all* applications (since the global menus issue is still unresolved), I can use Alt-based shortcuts in LO, which is more important. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1064962 Title: [SRU] Global menubar items do not work when opening a document directly from nautilus with no LibreOffice instance running To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bamf/+bug/1064962/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
