[Bug 829384] [NEW] libreoffice fullscreen causes errors in unity

 

Public bug reported:

OS: Ubuntu 11.04 stable
Application: Libreoffice 3.3.3 stack, installed via PPA
Unity v3.8.16-0ubuntu1~natty1 (unity)

On entering and exiting Libreoffice Writer fullscreen, pressing Super or
the Ubuntu button causes the Launcher to turn grey. Dash fails to be
called up, and quicklists do not load. Holding Super fails to display
the relevant hotkeys for applications on the Launcher (only those for
workspace switcher and trash show). Pressing Super, clicking the Ubuntu
button or clicking on the Launcher restores the Launcher to colour, but
the functions remain broken until command "unity --replace" is run.
Note: "functions" are only launcher application hotkeys, quicklists and
Dash. Clicking on icons still works.

The problem does not arise with LibreOffice Calc on fullscreen. Indeed,
after exiting fullscreen mode, all functionality broken by Writer is
restored, except for quicklists. When both are running fullscreen, the
same thing happens. Calling up and dismissing Dash restores quicklists.

As a side-note: When entering fullscreen mode for LibreOffice Writer or
Calc, Unity's panel and launcher are both hidden for ALL applications on
that workspace. Other workspaces are unaffected. Window decorations for
windowed applications are unaffected.

** Affects: libreoffice (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
