Package: openoffice.org
Version: 1.1.2-5
Severity: normal


I use Debian's packaging of openoffice.org on several machines, and, at least
on one of them, I have trouble getting right-click to do what it's intended,
but *only with openoffice !*

The most annoying point is using the database beamer. Right-click on the name
of a table or a query is the only way I'm aware of to launch certain
operations, such as renaming or editing the object or creating a new one.

On my problematic machine, such a right-click works erratically : sometimes,
it gets interpreted as a left click (i. e. a collapsible tree branch
(un-) collapses, an object is selected), sometimes nothing (visually
perceptible) happens, and, once in a blue moon, the context menu appears.

By trial and error, I learned that a left-right-click most often pops up
the context menu (that's what right-click is supposed to do).

What troubles me most is that OpenOffice is the *only* program where I found
this behaviour. On the very same machine, right-click deoes what it's
supposed to do with mozilla, Gnome, KDE, KDE apps, etc. ad nauseam...

That's why I file a bug against openoffice.org, while I concede it may be,
for example, an X window bug triggered only by OpenOffice. But after weeks
of various investigations, I give up ...

Sincerely yours,

					Emmanuel Charpentier

Great. Closing.

Mixing experimental with unstable can indeed bring strange results. But
I'm willing to think of them as minor problems if the unstable version
works fine.
