When openoffice is run using gtk widgets, menus appear at lower right of screen instead of directly under the mouse pointer. Both menubar and context menus behave this way.

Using xmonad 0.6 in a gnome-session as outlined in http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Xmonad/Using_xmonad_in_Gnome

Was this with:

OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome

enabled?

(Either way, its an OpenOffice bug)

With and without. I'll file a bug report against openoffice.

Doesn't seem to be our issue.

This problem also happened on dwm or awesome. wmii is ok. Other non-tiling WMs should be fine as well. Please keep me posted of any progress

Using Xinerama, I get the menus from an openoffice instance on my left monitor popping up on the lower right hand side of my right monitor.

I had the same problem with fluxbox. If I comment the following lines :

if [ -z $SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN ]; then export SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gtk fi

from the beginning of "soffice" script, menus go back to the right place.

Alternatively, set SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gen if gtk is autodetected for you.

No longer a problem for me with OO.o 3.0
