Hello Chris<<> You might be able to clear up the issue by removing ~/.openoffice.org2> directory. Compiz is the visual effects program in Ubuntu, sometimes> setting visual effects to none corrects problems.>>Does Ubuntu Studio come with this right out of installation? I don't recall anything by that name, but I DO recall a 'visual effects' tab in preference for setting up the desktop. I did set that to 'none' when I had other problems. But I made that adjustment AFTER the problem happened with Open Office Writer.<< OpenOffice.org is> known to have several problems when visual effects is turned on.

Because I am lucky it happened now JUST as I started to use Open Office. But later on down the road I could have important documents and settings made. So we are lucking out that this happened now and not later.Still I think perhaps talking to the Ubuntu devs about this situation should be made a priority, since many people are on Ubuntu and are probably going to use Open Office as a replacement for MS Office under Windows.
