[Bug 1296715] Re: Menu items are greyed out in Libreoffice menu.

 

It looks like this is an LO issue. Looking at the example of insert
table, the action is set to disabled:

$ gdbus call --session --dest :1.194 --object-path /org/libreoffice/window/88080484/menus/menubar --method org.gtk.Menus.Start [0]

Title:
  Menu items are greyed  out in Libreoffice menu.

Status in “hud” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in “indicator-appmenu” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  After adding a formula, OLE-Object or diagram to the document and then
  exiting the editing mode, one cannot choose several items from the
  menubar, neither using a mouse or the HUD. The affected items are
  greyed out and mostly in the "Add" and "Format" dropdown menu. After
  first navigating to that item with the mouse pointer, the second time
  the items become available.

  After deinstalling the indicator-appmenu package, the Libreoffice menu works without problems.
