#1

I just upgraded to Version 4.0.5.2
(Build ID: 5464147a081647a250913f19c0715bca595af2f)

Now I have duplicate "open" buttons on the standard toolbar. Both have tooltips that say "Open (ctrl + O)"

not a problem for me, just wondered

Hi :slight_smile:
Did you install through Synaptic, or another package manager (ie from the repos or Ppas) or did you download from the LibreOffice website? Did you install the desktop-integration packages?

    I have 2 "Open" menu options, both seem to to do the same thing. I have
    version 4.0.2.2 under Ubuntu

above is the communications re: this issue. I tried about a year ago to send a bug report, and it was so involved for something simple that I gave up, taking the attitude that if whatever it was then was bad enough, others would endure the bug reporting torture. It is possible that it was openoffice.org, as I used it after star office.

Re: tom's questions, I really don't know. I don't record that kind of data, and I use Ubuntu on several computers. I am currently using LO 4.1.2.3 under Ubuntu 13.10, and the open/open are still in the file menu.

Hi,

I always run the latest version of Ubuntu on 4 computers, and also once a LibreOffice version reaches the x.02 line, am running the latest LibreOffice. I've been running Ubuntu for 5 years, and used Open Office initially, and as soon as LibreOffice was released, switched to LibreOffice. I've never had multiple menu items/buttons with any version of Ubuntu or any version of LibreOffice. My guess it that there is a conflict between a Linux distribution version and an official Document Foundation version. Strange things can happen!!!!! I would recommend you follow the instructions here
http://askubuntu.com/questions/180403/how-to-uninstall-libreoffice
to completely purge your system of LibreOffice, and then install the version from
http://www.documentfoundation.org/
and see if you still have the issue.

Hi :slight_smile:

It's been a year since this last occurred and back then it went unreported.
Apparently in excess of 60 million users haven't suffered the problem.
The person mentioning it back then couldn't answer simple questions and
couldn't even figure out whether he/she had downloaded LibreOffice or not.
User error wasn't ruled out. The recent report gives far more info but
it's difficult to imagine what is going on that is not going wrong on other
people's systems.

if its meaningful, I just tested, and found that I get the 2 'open,' menu selections under 'file' only while in calc, not write or presentation. I didn't test any others. I was going to send a picture, but when I go to select the screen shooter, the 'file' menu closes.
