It sounds like a bug to me. Can you please report this in issuezilla ? 
( http://openoffice.org -> "My Pages" -> "Register", then when you receive a 
confirmation email, "Login" and "File an issue" )
In this way the relevant developers will see your bug report / suggestion and 
you will also see the progress of this feature / bug report if it is 
accepted.
