I apologize if this is and old problem that has been beat into the ground. I've been looking for an answer without any luck, so please bear with me.

Switching between program windows using Alt+Tab is common in Windows and Linux. Selecting the File menu by pressing the Alt key too. However, if I use Alt+Tab to switch to a OOo window, the File menu is selected as if the OOo window had been active and I had pressed only the Alt key, and I have to press Exc to bring focus back to wherever the cursor is. It happens almost all the time, but not entirely all the time. This is really annoying, particularly if I don't notice and start writing by pressing a key that drops down one of the menus (F for File, E for Edit, V for View etc).

* I use OOo 2.3.1, but I've had the same problem over several versions.
* I use Linux (several distributions) and Windows XP, the problem is the same in all. * I have the same problem on my desktop computer and my laptop, the problem is the same irrespective of hardware.
* I have never experienced the same problem in any other program, ever.

Is this just a bug that has never been fixed, or is there some setting I can use to fix it myself?

Thanks
Tom Ekeberg
