I can confirm this bug.
I have however, managed, with help from the ubuntu forums, a few workarounds:
1. sudo apt-get remove openoffice.org-gtk
This will make openoffice look disgruntled from the rest of the theme in
your desktop. It will also provoke other bugs such as oo.org impress in
fulscreen staying behind the gnome panel
2. Create a new user account and run oo.org.
It will run fine on my machine, even with openoffice.org-gtk package
installed.
3. Run as sudo
I know this should not be done, but for testing purposes, I tried it and it
worked flawlessly...
I hope this helps resolve this...
