Hello, I’m new Endeavour user. I like it very much but I have problem, there is no menu-bar in LibreOffice and other apps. By menu-bar I mean no File/View/Help and so on.
I found this solution: Disappearing Menu-bar in LibreOffice KDE Plasma but in the KDE Plasma I installed there is no Startup and Shutdown in System Settings. I don’t use English version but there is nothing similar. I tried to fined Background Service but there is not one. Anybody could help me?
Welcome to the forum !
The only thing i can think of would be the global menu widget , that should be on the panel, and should also show the title bar on the panel. Sometimes installing a “obscure” theme could have some strange effect on the system.
This probably means that it’s your KDE settings. But I’m not in my KDE installation right now, so I can’t narrow it down. But there should be some “menu” setting in KDE’s System Settings.
Type “menu” to see if you can find it.
And no, LibreOffice is not a Qt app, but it does ship with both Qt and Gtk settings to adapt to your system, so a KDE/Qt setting can affect it just like any other KDE/Qt app.
OP has not edited this post since 5 hours, I wonder why I can see the picture and open it in a new tab while @UncleSpellbinder or @ddnn can not? Viewing in Cinnamon with LibreWolf if any of that matters. this happens with videos so not too weird.
anyway. this is a stock picture of someone else’s dark theme writer? superimposed over your no-menu light-themed Writer? I’m confused. Often.
ALT+T will get you to tools menu/options: maybe something there?
ALT+C will get you to view menu. maybe something there?
ALT+H will get you to help.
People laugh at me when I say DDG sucks as bad as google. “libre writer menu bar missing linux” gets me mostly converstations about libre menu in XFCE in UBU…none of them fruitful. The rest go to WIN fixes that don’t apply. It used to go to stack/superuser/smart people.
anyway I agree with DDNN that this is a simple fix that is escaping all of us.–but in 15-20 min of searching I’m not seeing it yet.
on a weird note my GD Nemo is losing the top menu bar randomly and I kind of have to jiggle/wiggle the mouse while right-clicking in this insane jiggle/wiggle zone near the top and POOF its’ back. pissing me off. sometimes Nemo does not retain settings and then I get sad when I realize maybe my future is BSD but I’ve never successfully installed it even with sesame street tutorials. My problem, not yours. But I’ve seen weirder things help…
Anyway, according to the OP, they’re using KDE with the Breeze theme, but that screenshot does not look like KDE one bit.
So I am not even sure if this is the OP’s screenshot or just an image from the internet displaying the same issue. In fact, those are clearly Gtk themes - Ubuntu’s Yaru theme or Elementary, and Clearlooks I believe.
yep I’m lost with all that stuff too. We are just a simple alt+WHATEVER away or some macro or keybind away. OP does bring up a great point that I see menu bars disappear for no good reason lately and I can ALT them back and blame a clumsy thumb or finger. maybe.
