Hi, we are sorry to hear that have this problems but we need some more information to understand what exactly you have done and what's your problem really is.
We are always interested to learn how the product or specific functions/features are used by our users. But I can say that we are not aware of this kind of problem until now. It's your free choice to use whatever program you want but I can say that open source software is often in same way developed as commercial or proprietary software. But one difference is that open source is transparent and you can review the code on your own if you are able to do that :-) And in general the best place for user questions and problems is either the users@openoffice mailing list of the user forum (forum.openoffice.org).
