I am experience a similar bug that is very serious. Using the FreeSans font in OO Writer on Debian testing (standard OOo package, currently OOo 2.0.0-5), the letters alef and lamed ALWAYS combine into a combination character. It does not matter what order I type the letters in, or what they are surrounded by. It even happens if I type alef and lamed separated by a different letter, and then delete the different letter. (This would have been a great feature if OOo had come out a few hundred years ago, but I think we missed the deadline by a bit this time. :) ) The only way I can prevent this is by inserting something invisible in between the alef and the lamed. Right now I am using a space that I scale down to zero and then manually compress character spacing to approximate the proper spacing - a real annoyance. I think there is some zero-width unicode character that could be used here instead, but I have no idea what it is or how to type it. In any case, this is a serious bug - modern usage should obviously be the default. OTOH, I am not experiencing Menashe's version of the bug with fractions. On my platform, the sequence turns into a fraction only when surrounded by whitespace, and only just when I type a space immediately following the sequence. So it is easy to keep the original sequence if I want it. Also, I see that this can be turned off completely on the Options tab of Tools / AutoCorrect.
