I can confirm that the solution suggested by Norbert works. Just add the following ppa to your system
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/libreoffice-4-1
sudo apt -f update
sudo apt-f upgrade
#Then it will remove the olf libreoffice leaving broken packages
sudo apt-f install 
#will fix the repository
#Then use 
sudo apt-get install libreoffice-writer
sudo apt-get install libreoffice-calc
sudo apt-get install libreoffice-base
sudo apt-get install libreoffice-draw
#to install the new packages. Works for bilingual Arabic/English keyboard, Ubuntu 13.10 
# Thanks to all contributors, now LibreOffice is usable again !

Bug description:
  New keyboard layout changer in Ubuntu 13.10 introduce  old-new bug. Any system or application hotkey witch use char (for example: ctrl+alt+t for terminal or ctrl+t for new tab in browser) become unfunctional when selected non-latin keyboard layout.
  Hotkeys with F1-12, numbers and other non-character buttons works perfectly.

  Window manager hotkeys not affected by this bug. All hotkeys in system
  parameters->keyboard->hotkeys->windows works perfect with any keyboard
  layout.

  Workaround for some system hotkeys and two layouts (english and non-
  latin): rebind all hotkeys in your local layout. For example instead
  of ctrl+alt+t use ctrl+alt+τ (greek tau). That hotkey still work with
  english layout.  If you use english and two different non-latin
  layouts this workaround helps only with one of them.

  For other layout switching problems introduced in Ubuntu 13.10 you can see bug 1218322.
