Bug Description

Binary package hint: openoffice.org-calc

When I start oowriter everything works fine, but when I start oocalc the program doesn't have window decorations and I can't seem to use any of the menues. I made a screencast showing the problem:

At first I thought it was a problems with my settings but i deleted the folder .openoffice.org2/ before starting the programs, so I should be working. Regarding my setup I just upgraded from Feisty to Gutsy and I am using the ATI drivers and XGL.

If you try not using XGL do the window decorations work?

Now I tested it without xgl and now I saw no problems so I guess it is a xgl error. It is just so strange that it only affects oocalc and not oowriter.

It seems to me that this is an OpenOffice bug (specifically Calc) and not an xgl bug. If it was an xgl bug, then it should affect all of the other OpenOffice apps.

I have the exact same issue!
