Shaun:
Is this with only the PPC version or both versions?
I cannot reproduce the arrow key problem on my Intel MacBook. Those
who did reproduce it were on PPC as far as I can tell.
I'm not sue if it is the expectation that if you are on the last line
of the document and you press the down arrow key, users are expecting
to get to the end of the last line of document like in other Mac OS X
apps. This is not standard behaviour in apps on most other OSs.
I opened the issue to try and gain more specific information on the
problem. If no one comes forward with more information, since I can
only tell that the arrow key works here as expected, there is nothing
we can do to improve the behaviour.

I may add this to the TCM tests that need to be looked
at. This may prevent problems in future releases.

Hi James Greenidge,
It appears someone else is having the same problem for the arrow
keys. I cannot reproduce it here on my Mac.

It looks like this is appearing in some very specialised
circumstances. To work out what they are we need more information on
when they do occur and when they don't occur.
I have created issue
http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=75993
to track the circumstances that it does occur.

With what Uwe said too, it looks like it is a PPC only issue.
Somehow, with all the glamor and future stakes on the Intel chip,
it almost feels like (having a) PPC is now chopped liver! ;-<
Since the unresponsive Down Arrow issue is apparently too deep to
distract attention from other things, I'd like to know just how do
you explain it in the next MacOOo Read Me's and OOo docs? A perm
bug? A simply terminal issue? If so, is there any kind of
"automatic" workaround for this lacking, like maybe some kind of
macro that automatically drops the cursor down a line of text
whenever the Down Button's pushed? I know that to techies that a
mere arrow key going nowhere isn't exactly exciting as a skip in
Space Shuttle code, but it'll sure be noticed and gossiped in
schools and organizations (like the YMCA just down my street!) and
businesses just getting a taste of OOo, and I can see high school
teens and coeds and businesses saying to themselves -- and on-line!
-- "Gee, if this stupid down arrow don't do crap in my term paper/
book report/essay/finance report/portfolio, what else is screwed up
in this program nobody knows about? Maybe what they about getting
things free is true! Mm, maybe we better cough up a few bucks and
knock on grinning Billy's door!..."
Hunting for more bugs
