Description holgerbrandl 2007-09-21 09:10:29 UTC 
When installing the OpenCards 0.7 (www.opencards.info) extension in the most
recent Ubuntu 7.10 builds, the menu bar does not appear in Impress.

This problem doesn't occur under Suse Linux (also using a release candidate of
OOo like Ubunutu is currently doing) and also not under WindowsXP (with neither
OOo 2.3RC and nor OOo 2.3final): If something else than Ubuntu is used, the
OpenCards menu bar always appears. 

Note: This bug is not related to OpenCards itself (which is still alpha), but
only to the extension infrastructure (i.e. the processing of its Addons.xcu)

The strange workaround for the problem is to install another impress extension
which also has a menu bar like the "mOOo Impress Controller". Than both (!) menu
s are visible. This means that extensions interact although there is no reason
to do so. 

For some reasons I don't understand the mOOo menu also appears when being the
only installed extension. One possible reason might be that mOOo does not use
any icons in the menu.

A discussion thread for the problem can be found at
https://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php

All this also holds for the toolbar of OpenCarsd. It is just not visible using
Ubuntu and without having another extension installed.

Where have downloaded OOo from?
Comment 2 holgerbrandl 2007-09-21 09:28:38 UTC 
OpenOffice comes along preinstalled with Ubuntu 7.10 builds. The about-box says:

OpenOffice 2.3.0
openoffice.org-core 1:2.3.0oog680,1-1ubuntu3, Wed Aug 22 02:54:01 GMT 2007

Hopefully that helps.

So you should report this issue to Ubuntu! They have to fix this. OOo can't do
anything in this case.

This is Ubuntu stuff.
