That's because the "Picture" dialog remembers the last tab that was selected,
in this case the "Macro" tab. If you close the dialog, the next time it will
open in the same tab.

In order to get rid of this:

- select any picture in the document
- while the picture is selected, go to the menu "Format" - "Picture..." that
will open the "Picture" dialog, with the "Macro" tab page selected
- You will get the message box about the missing JRE, close the message box
- Back on the "Picture" dialog, select any other tab different from the "Macro"
tab, and close the dialog

Next time you open the "Picture" dialog, it will open with that tab instead of
the "Macro" tab.

As explained above, select another tab and close the dialog; it will remember
the selected tab the next time you open the dialog; and do not select the
"Macro" tab anymore.
