Description:
In openoffice, on a lot of computers with nvidia cards (whatever the driver used) menu items disappear, like on this photo : http://www.kirikoo.net/images/14Anonyme-20090716-154049.jpg It makes it very poorly usable. Steps to reproduce: Just install openoffice-base (and openoffice-fr) and launch writer for instance. |

Reason for closing: Not a bug
Additional comments about closing: it's a feature of using closed sourse crap ;)

after the install, you relogin in to your account? if not, do it, or execute the command above before start OOo
This fixes your problem?
And I rebooted this computer several times since I installed OpenOffice.
Even typing export OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome && soffice gives the same bug.
Are there other values for this variable ?
# /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Section "Device"
Identifier "Card0"
Driver "nvidia"
Option "RandRRotation" "true"
Option "Rotate" "left"
EndSection
# End of file
I think that cards like 8xxx/9xxx with nvidia drivers have some problems, there are many threads in nvidia forums about these cards. There are some workarounds.
Maybe the best place to question about this problem is in nvforums ;)
I just had the idea to launch a compositing manager (xcompmgr) and it solves the problem at the cost of a few system ressources.
On this computer this is an acceptable workaround (core duo), but on the other one with an FX card and an Athlon 1.3GHz, I would prefer to avoid this.
