Document with sample text for testing

OS: Windows 7 SP 1 (64bit)
Version: AOO401m5 (Build:9714) - R1524958

Issue:
OpenOffice automatically applies changes to above/below paragraph spacing as
you type, which is a great feature. However, some users may press Enter anyways
in an attempt to apply changes, perhaps out of habit or based on experiences in
similar programs.

My expectation was that hitting enter after changing above paragraph spacing
would do one of the following:
1. If Writer hadn't automatically applied my new spacing yet, enter would force
the input parser to begin right away and apply the changes.
2. If the program had already applied my new spacing, hitting enter would do
nothing.

Instead, hitting enter inserted a new line in my document while my text cursor
was still focused on the above paragraph spacing field. This seems like a bug –
it's my impression that Writer shouldn't be creating new lines in the document
through this field - only adjusting the spacing settings on the current
selection.

This occurs when both having text and not having text selected in the document.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open the attached document.odt
2. Highlight the value in the above-paragraph spacing field (should be
default/zero)
3. Type the number 1
4. Hit enter
