I suspect so. I cannot reproduce your problem in 2.0.2 under FC4 so will
guess that it specific to SuSE as they package their own version of OOo.
BTW, the blizzard is actually XML.
So, I suggest that you enter an issue into Issue
Tracker as this is the best way to have problems such as this evaluated.
If you haven't already registered, do the following:
1. To file an issue you must register with OOo by clicking the
My Pages tab and selecting the Register link
http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/Join
2. Fill in your information
3. Reply to the confirmation email that will be sent to the address
you provided.
4. Once you have confirmed, go to www.openoffice.org again
5. And click on the "My Pages" tab from which you can file and find
issues.
Thanks for bringing this to our attention. It is important that you file
any examples with the issue to ensure your need is understood.
