Not reproducible for me with openoffice 2.0.4.dfsg.2-3 in unstable, remote
displaying from amd64 to i386. Trying now with the version in testing.
Your bug report doesn't include any information about the versions of OOo's
dependencies that you have installed. If the bug isn't reproducible here
just with the testing version of OOo, that could be important information to
have.
