Bug Description
The Minimize and Restore buttons on the top right hand disappear in OpenOffice.
The application takes up the entire screen losing the Ubuntu taskbar at both the top and the bottom.
--- Workarounds ---
-- workaround 1 :
Install the "Advanced desktop effects settings" package (Compiz desktop effects control panel), you can just go to add/remove applications for this.
In this control panel:
- Enable "Workarounds"
- Within "Workarounds", disable "Legacy full screen support"
-- workaround 2: (this will (re)move all your openoffice settings)
mv ~/.openoffice.org2 ~/.openoffice.

Binary package hint: openoffice.org
The Minimize and Restore buttons on the top right hand have disappeared after upgrading to Gutsy Gibbon and OpenOffice 2.3.0.
As well the application takes up the entire screen losing the Ubuntu taskbar at both the top and the bottom. The only way to return to other apps is to use the Alt-Tab key combination.
Hope this helps
Thanks for the hard work

Hi,
looks like you're in full screen mode
can you try to use Ctrl+Shift+J to see if this helps ?
what application are you having this problem with (Writer, Speadsheet, ...) ?
thanks,
Koen
