Screenshots showing Writer running on each of three monitors

I run three monitors arranged horizontally.  When I run Writer on the
Left-hand monitor the various menus act properly.  When I move the Writer
main window to the Center Monitor, the menus appear on the Right-hand
monitor and even sub-menus are on the hard left edge of the monitor so they
are placed over each other.  When I place the Writer main window on the
Right-hand monitor, the menus appear on the left-hand edge of the right
monitor and are also placed over each other.

I would think the problem lies in an assumption, somewhere in  the code,
that there are, at most, two monitors side by side and menu position
calculations are being made accordingly.  Below are screenshots of the
Writer window on the three monitors.

System: Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal
Writer LibreOffice 3.5.1.2 Build ID 350m1(Build 102)

I'm getting the same problem on Ubuntu 12.04 and LibOffice 3.5.3.2
(ubuntu repositories). LO worked fine on Ubuntu 11.10.

Interestingly, the problem seems to be dependent on the monitor layout
configuration I specify in System Settings > Displays.  (I have a
1920x1200 monitor connected to my 1600x900 laptop).  If my second
monitor is configured directly above the laptop monitor such that the
two monitors have their left edges aligned then the problem goes away.

However, if my second monitor is positioned so its left edge is not
aligned with my laptop monitor's left edge then I can't get access to
the File, Edit, View, Insert of Format menus (the other menus work
fine); and LO crashes soon after I try to access any of the inaccessible
menus.

A screenshot of this second configuration is available here:

http://xlk.org.uk/LOscreenshot.png

In the screenshot, I'm trying to open the File menu.

Just to emphasise: this is, in my opinion, a serious bug.  It pretty
much renders LO unusable.

Given the number of people who have reported this bug, I'm going to go
ahead and change the status of this bug from UNCONFIRMED to NEW although
I have no idea if I'm following the correct etiquette (I'm not a LO

I just wanted to write again with a more detailed description of the
issue I'm experiencing.  I'm a little nervous that perhaps we're
conflating several different problems into a single bug report; but
probably not.  So I wanted to describe my situation in as much detail as
possible...

THE PROBLEM
(I'll use Calc as a specific example but similar problems are present in all 
LibreOffice apps)

If I click on the File, Edit, View, Insert or Format menu, the menu does
not open.  Instead I see the artefact show in this screenshot
http://xlk.org.uk/LOscreenshot.png near the File menu.

If I right-click on any cell in columns A, B, C or D then I see the
exactly the same menu problem.

After using LibreOffice for a few minutes it usually crashes.

MY SETUP
LibOffice 3.5.3.2 (ubuntu
repositories)
Ubuntu 12.04 64bit with dual monitors configured as shown in 
http://xlk.org.uk/LOscreenshot.png

"FIXES" THAT WORK FOR ME (none of which are satisfactory)
* If I disable my second monitor then LibreOffice works fine
* If I enable both of my monitors and position the 2nd monitor so the left 
sides of both monitors are aligned and the 2nd monitor is directly above the 
primary monitor then it works fine.

Yes, it is defintely a GTK issue. If you read bugreport on the Gentoo
bugzilla (linked in comment #1) you will see that launching LO with
SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gen 'fixes' the issue.

I am also rising the importance of this bug, as it really makes LO very
hard to use in multihead environments.

Joker. I have yet to see any comment by a LO developer on this bug, so
it clearly has not been addressed yet.

Unfortunately not, but this bug is very important to me and this is why
I am tracking similar issues and try to centralize all the reports (also
by finding duplicates).

I also find it VERY weird that no developer commented on this issue. I
was hoping that bug with so many duplicates and of relatively high
importance will be at least assigned, especially that first report is
over half a year old.

Oh, and the launchpad bug was linked in comment #1, but of course there
is nothing wrong in reposting it, as it confirms that at least 12 other
people are affected :)

I can not understand this, since report of the bug we have LibreOffice
version 3.5.2, 3.5.3, 3.5.4.

At the moment, that is _my_ opinion, LibreOffice 3.5.x is not ready for
the business.

I have no desire at the moment to test new versions / release candidates
of LibreOffice because such important bugs won't fix. :-(

According to [1], this should be fixed in 3.5.5.
