This often happens to me, too.  Like joehill, I often write documents
that include transliterated Arabic (and/or Arabic script).  To answer
Chris's question, the problem occurs for me even when only one document
is open.

When the problem occurs, if I shut down OpenOffice (including the
quickstarter) then restart it by double-clicking on the same document
again, generally the problem remains.  But if I restart OpenOffice using
the item in the Applications menu, then reopen the document using
File->Open from within OpenOffice, the problem goes away.  (I think, but
I'm not absolutely sure, that this always works.)

I've also noticed that when the problem occurs, it affects different
characters in different fonts; thus changing the font of an incorrectly
displayed character (e.g. from DejaVu Serif to Georgia or vice versa)
can cause it to be displayed correctly.
