I had not been able to install Ubuntu's "gnome-desktop" on my clean
install of 12.04 or test of 13.04. I keep getting errors about file not
found that were needed for the install.
I use MATE since it is closest to GNOME 2.x that was installed with
Ubuntu 10.04LTS. I do not like Unity or similar desktop environments.
I have not been able to install Cinnamon desktop on any 12.04/13.05 test
system though, but it is another desktop environment that is a good
GNOME substitute, if you like what Ubuntu had before Unity came along.
I always use the LO web site version of LO and not any PPA or Ubuntu
repository version of LO. I believe that the repository for 12.04LTS is
still using version 3.5.x or 3.6.x. I prefer to go to download the
latest version of LO and not wait for the repository to get it, which
does not happen anyways now.

Hi all,
Thank you all for your inputs. I could solve the problem just by installing
gnome-desktop. I tried re-installing libreoffice. With ubuntu unity, ubuntu
2D. The problem persists.
I installed gnome-desktop and now i am able to use the office or
highlighting or font changes without any problem. I could conclude that it
is the problem with the desktop (for a reason that i dnt understand) and
not the libreoffice.

Hi,
I have no problems with LibreOffice 4.1.4.2 in Ubuntu 13.10 on several
different computers.I use the version from The document foundation, and
not
from Ubuntu.
If you are using the Ubuntu version and wish to try The Document
Foundation version, you must purge your system of all of the Ubuntu
version. Instructions can be found here:

Known bug in Ubuntu 12.04.
AFAIK, the only work around is to use a different distro. Specifically
a
distro that nebver came close to Ubuntu, as its base.(That rules out
Mint,
which exhibits the same bug, albeit far less frequently.)

Don, I can - and probably should - mention that I'm running
1:4.1.4~rc2-0ubuntu1~saucy1~ppa1, i e, the Ubuntu version installed via the
PPA on my machine, without experiencing the difficulties described by Bala
on Ubuntu 12.04....
