Description:
OpenOffice will place all menus on the bottom-right corner of a screen instead of right below the menu toolbar. This problem exists when using certain window managers, including dwm, awesome and xmonad Additional info: * package version(s) 2.4 * config and/or log files etc. Steps to reproduce: 1. Install both openoffice-base and a problematic window manger (dwm, awesome, xmonad) 2. run "soffice" from a console 3. clock on any menu and it will appear on the corner. This problem is very annoying when using dual monitor setup. However, I can confirm that dual monitor is not the problem. If I use single monitor layout, the problem still exists! |
This task depends upon

if [ -z $SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN ]; then
export SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gtk
fi
in the beginning of /opt/openoffice.org2.4/program/soffice.
In fluxbox, menus go back to the right place.
This also works in my "awesome" WM. I believe this will help dwm or xmonad as well.

See also, the Ubuntu guys have been having the same issue for some time:

So, this bug is 64bit limited!
Now, openoffice menu works fine.
So, this bug is 64bit SPECIFIC!

Beautiful =) 2.4.1 in testing did the trick for me.
