IMHO ubuntu should, if possible, switch to the official openoffice
codebase, that does not have the bug and that seems to be more
responsive on bug reports. The subscript/superscript bug was opened on
Ubuntu in June 2009 and at Novell (go-oo does not have a bug tracking
system of its own) in September 2009 after I finally found out how to
report go-oo bugs upstream. So it is now 6 months it is open on Ubuntu
and 3 months it is open upstream.

In spite of the fact that a correct codebase for the subscript rendering
exists (fix exists: the official openoffice codebase does this right),
go-oo has not fixed the bug yet.  In principle I believed it could have
been as easy as reverting some go-oo patch on the openoffice codebase,
but evidently it is not like that.

In any case, should you find it useful, official openoffice 3.1.1 deb
packages for both i386 and amd64 with full localization are available at
http://ftp.linux.cz/pub/localization/OpenOffice.org/
