No menu bar under GNOME Shell & gnome-classic

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Same here.

No menus with Gnome-shell DE. This is a regression.

Also, Libreoffice crashes immediately when any odt file is opened.

It doesn't crash for me. But it does open the file recovery dialog every time I open any file (odt, docx, xls, etc.) presuming that LO crashed the last time it was launched, which is not the case. More over, it keeps adding up those files opened to the recovery dialog; at first I had one file on the list, now it shows in the dialog all the files I have opened since I installed this version. However, it "recovers" only the last one opened. So I guess this is another bug. I reported it as bug #1062789.

same trouble here on i386 with gnome-classic: 3.6.2 load but without menu again, and crash when i try to load an .ods calc file :(

Interesting that if you uninstall libreoffice-gnome and libreoffice-gtk and gtk3 it will have the menu again.
http://imagebin.org/231152 no gtk
http://imagebin.org/231153 gtk and or gtk3
It crashes when trying to open the libreoffice shortcut and choosing writer it wont open. Then it always tries to
recover the file when clicking on calc or writer shortcuts.

fixes the unitymenu integration patch so that LibreOffices own menu is only removed in a unity session.
This only modifies the vcl gtk plugin in libreoffice-gtk -- other parts of libreoffice are untouched by this change.

rationale:
LibreOffice with libreoffice-gtk installed would otherwise be unusable in gnome-classic. The only possible workaround would be to disable or remove libreoffice-gtk with a severe impact on desktop integration.

Its fixed now with the quantal-proposed packages.

Thank-you for the fix working great now!!

This bug was fixed in the package libreoffice - 1:3.6.2~rc2-0ubuntu3

If you open any files by xdg-open, then the global-menu fails to be loaded, but if you open lowriter or other component of libreoffice separately. global work.
ii libreoffice-gnome 1:3.6.2~rc2-0ubuntu3 amd64 office productivity suite -- GNOME integration
ii libreoffice-gtk 1:3.6.2~rc2-0ubuntu3 amd64 office productivity suite -- GTK+ integration
ii libreoffice-gtk3 1:3.6.2~rc2-0ubuntu3 amd64 office productivity suite -- GTK+ 3.0 integration

Is there any way to disable global menu support by LibreOffice even whilst using Unity? Or would that be a separate bug/feature request?

@tanqazx,

You can removed libreoffice-gtk. It'll get the upstream look and no global menu.

I just got the same problem that zhengpeng-hou (#14) reported. When I click to open a file from a browser (which uses xdg-open), I generally get no menu.

This bug is definitely not fixed.

For me, it only seems to affect Draw, which I use a lot. This bug makes Draw unusable, so I removed libreoffice-gtk which is a bad workaround.

Dino99: What do you mean "fixed now"?

I just upgraded from 12.04 to 12.10 last night 10/28/12 and the problem still exists. LibreOffice is unusable without removing libreoffice-gtk then it's UGLY!

What is your fix and when will it be part of updates?

For some files imported form MS Office the menus and HUD are not available.
If I create a new calc, everything is ok

I have a fresh install of Ubuntu 12.10 64bit but I have no menu once in two files. Csv
The installaiton of libreoffice-gtk3 not solve my problem.
I have an Nvidia card with driver "nouveau" (some think it could reach the sky bound)
