If this hasn't been reported to Issuezilla and you know it is a problem
('bug') it would help us all if it was submitted as one:
http://qa.openoffice.org/issue_handling/pre_submission.html
The same goes for any "aberrant behavior" you come across...remember it
may remain an "issue" if no one complains. And sometimes after a while
of neglect it may become an undocumented feature ;-)
...and this also goes for errors and omissions in the online help...
