I have reproduced the same problem in the attached file using openoffice.org version 1:2.4.1-12. What causes the bug (in the attached file) is the character that looks like a non-breaking whitespace. If you close openoffice.org and then open the attached file, the bug happens. If you delete the whitespace, save the file, close openoffice.org and reopen the file, the bug is gone (well, not gone, but it doesn't show). If you do not delete the non-breaking whitespace before saving the file, the bug remains.
I believe this bug is described upstream: http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=88376 Please fix the bug before Lenny is released, because it is really annoying. It seems to be already fixed in Openoffice.org 3.0, but not in 2.4.1. -- Flávio Bello Fialho Pesquisador, Embrapa Uva e Vinho [email protected] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
