I don't think so... From upstream bts (#2430):

"Yup, this is known; pretty sure there was a bug filed on this in the past, or
 maybe a discussion on the mailing list.  Either way, not gonna get fixed.  Wait
 for Jannis' real fd.o menu implementation in 4.6."

Opening a bug against OO.o is not a proper fix, as Zoran said.

I guess we could just keep this bug open to document the problem and
wait for 4.6?
