OpenOffice on Debian Cut/Paste problems

["Randall J. Parr" <RParr@TemporalArts.COM>]

I am new to Debian (but not Linux).
I recently installed sarge testing on a workstation.
I upgraded the KDE to 3.3.1 from unstable.
By and large things work well.

I am having a problem with OpenOffice 1.1.x calc.

When copy, then paste a spreadsheet cell, calc inserts a cell in the 
current column.
It should paste the copied cell contents into the current cell.

On my systems with RedHat  and SuSE installed,
including the same workstaton with RedHat / KDE 3.3.1,
OpenOffice calc copy/paste works correctly.

Is this a known problem and/or mis-configuration?
Anyone know how to configure my Debian/KDE/X to get proper OpenOffice 
behaviour?

Thanks
