Thanks NoOp,
I'm glad to see it's not just me being stupid. I'll try posting on
g.c.o.devel.api and see if any of the devs have a solution. I'm got too
many extensions that I need and OOo is mission-critical at the moment so I
can't afford to risk disabling it even for a moment. I can live with the
current situation. Filing a bug report is also a good idea.
cheers,
Jonathan
