Are you using OpenOffice version 3.1 as provided by/with

brewster:
My apologies for not including version and platform information -
I should know better. Using Open Office 3.2 (build:9483) running
under Ubuntu 10.04. I guess that I must assume that 3.1 bug was not
fixed since it is still reproducing under my later lashup.
barker:
I trust this helps.

brewster:
Actually it helped on a couple of counts; I'd always rather find
out that it's a bug instead of my lack of competence :-).......
... and your bug-blog link had a workaround that someone had discovered,
that appears to do the trick.
The lesson for me is that when a problem seems intractable or has no
plausible explanation, check the bug reports first.
Thanks,
Brewster
I ran into a few other bad bugs with the Ubuntu-version of OpenOffice.org
and finally I just couldn't stand it any more, so I kicked it out and
installed the ”real” OpenOffice.org. Worked like a charm since then. I
don't know if that would help in this very case, but I would certainly try.
