Christopher Barrington-Leigh, I beg your pardon as my previously rationale was incorrect. This issue is reproducible in Xubuntu as demonstrated in your screencast. Hence, the issue you are reporting is an upstream one. It would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions verbatim at http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport . If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about the status. Thanks in advance.
