I filed an OpenOffice bug filed for this problem back on March 30th:

I'll let Mike (and other users of Orca) respond to this one.

I do remember this, but I just went to try to find it, to find the status
of it, and it's not showing up (even as having been fixed or closed).
I actually think that GNOME Bugzilla search is broken, as I went looking
for all bugs assigned to "rich" and got a Zarro Boogs reply.

Will/Mike, can you remember the bug number of this one?
