Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: openoffice.org

Copy/pasting cells from OOo Calc to OOo Writer behaves oddly on Feisty
64-bit : the pasted object always displays the extreme top left cells.
User then needs to manually edit the pasted object in order to scroll to
the proper cells.

Copy/pasting cells works fine in Feisty 32-bit (proper cells are
displayed), only 64-bit is affected. This issue has been discussed and
confirmed here : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=453265

No workaround except manual editing has been found yet. This may not be
related to OOo : maybe the way 32-bit applications are handled in a
64-bit environment is the culprit (only an assumption...)

OS : Feisty 64-bit (clean installation)
Affected application : Openoffice.org
reproducible : always

step to reproduce : 
- open Calc and Writer on Feisty 64bit
- fill some random data in random Calc cells, say, A11, A12, A13
- select those cells, then copy them using Ctrl+C
- go to Writer paste them using Ctrl-V
- pasted object has correct dimensions, but displayed cells are in fact A1, A2 
and A3 <- this is the actual issue, not present on Feisty 32-bit which does 
display A11-A13 cells
- edit the object by double-clicking it, scroll down to A11-A13 cells,
- end object edition by clicking anywhere on Writer page.
- you're done.

This is a very annoying bug when you need to copypaste thing 40-50 times
a day. This actually prevents me from using Feisty 64 on a daily basis.
