Orca Major issue - no longer reads the list of character sets in OpenOffice Writer

[Krister Ekstrom <krister kristersplace ws>]

Hi folks,
I switched to Orca v2.17.5 and did a dist-upgrade so that i now have the
latest Feisty, including OpenOffice.org 2.1 Ubuntu and now i'm having a
problem.
I was trying to save a file in formated text format and wanted to edit
my ascii filter settings to make sure i could edit the file from
Windows, so i checked the "edit filter settings" check box in the "save
as" dialog in OpenOffice and pressed "OK". The edit filter settings came
up and i tried to choose the correct character set, namely Windows and
was surpriced when i couldn't see any character set at all. Pressing the
down arrow didn't produce neither speech nor braille. This has worked
before.
Anyone encountered this?
