Hi All,
Thank you for Garuda developers for the wonderful work. It is great to see it becoming popular everyday.
I need help in figuring out what is wrong in my laptop when it comes to Libreoffice. i tried searching for a solution for this in Garuda and Libreoffice forums but all remedies suggested did not work for me.
I am using

My issue is Libreoffice menus do not show in the top. It randomly shows sometimes and that has now also stopped. It is a big handicap for not been able to get to the Menu of the libreoffice ( in any app, e.g writer, impress etc ). Other applications works only Libreoffice so maybe it is a libreoffice issue not Garuda.
( Sorry I cannot upload or emeded the screenshots as the forum do not allow it for new users)

I have tried all shortcuts ,resetting, reinstalling.
Perhaps this is not a Garuda issue but if would appreciate if someone can point me in the right direction.
Thank you
Cheers
