When using the spreadsheet program, if I use Alt+Tab to switch windows away from
OpenOffice, a menu item is highlighted whenever I switch back to OpenOffice. 
The menu highlight is the same highlight that happens when you press and release
the Alt key by itself.  When copying information from one window to another,
Windows users do not expect to have to press the Esc key to move the
application's focus back to the work area.  More importantly, if the user
switches back to the OpenOffice window and begins typing without noticing that
the app's focus is now on the menu bar, then it is very easy to open dialog
boxes, change settings, or do other unintentional (and possibly perilous) tasks
with only a few unfortunate keystrokes.  At the least, it is annoying to start
typing and have the machine beep at you when you press keys.

I have encountered this issue in all of the OpenOffice programs on my WindowsXP
machine (service pack 1).  I am currently running OOo1.1.3  I have not
encountered this problem on my linux machine (same version of OpenOffice), but
the keyboard shortcuts for menu access and switch windows do not use any of the
same keys (so the bug doesn't present itself if it is present there as well). 
This is a consistent behavior on my WindowsXP machine, it happens 100% of the
time I use Alt+Tab to switch windows away from OpenOffice.

Thank you for your time, and keep up the good work!
