I can confirm this without Orca running, but it only happens if I use my
distro's Save As dialog (as opposed to the official OpenOffice.org
dialogs).  You can configure this in the Options dialog in Writer (or
any component of OOo).  Choose General (Under OpenOffice.org), then you
can check the "Use OpenOffice.org dialogs" checkbox.

So.... It's not an Orca bug and it's not OOo bug.  Question is, is it a
bug?  <smile> Personally, I've never liked the "you can sometimes Tab
out of this entry and you sometimes can't" behavior.  It is, as you
suggested, confusing.  However, it crops up elsewhere (perhaps it's a
Gtk+ "bug"?).  When it does crop up, my experience is that you can
always move to the next field by pressing Control+Tab.

HTH.  Take care.
