I had this with the Sawfish Window Manager. Try some different mouse
focus settings. I got rid of it.

Quite so.  I have always used auto-raise for mouse focus.  Seems OO
dislikes this!  That has just got to be a bug.  20+ years of auto-raise
will not easily be worked around!

Thanks for the work-around tho'

[Cooker] 8.2 - small (?) problem with OpenOffice?

2002-03-19 Thread Kevin Maciunas

Just installed 8.2 (best installer so far, as everyone seems to agree).

I tried openoffice - oowriter.  It runs up, sucks in my test MS-Word
file just fine, BUT - If I click on **any** of the menus, they pull down
fine and promptly disappear before you can click on any entry!  

This is a complete 8,2 install from scratch.  I apologise if this has
been posted earlier on the list, I saw some OpenOffice traffic, but was
in catch-up mode last week :-(

8,2 Download edition
enterprise kernel (1GB memory)
Asus A7V133 M/B with 1G Athlon
Gnome desktop.

[sad user :-( ]
