I can confirm this bug.
I have however, managed, with help from the ubuntu forums, a few workarounds:
1. sudo apt-get remove openoffice.org-gtk
    This will make openoffice look disgruntled from the rest of the theme in your desktop. It will also provoke other bugs such as oo.org impress in fulscreen staying behind the gnome panel
2. Create a new user account and run oo.org.
    It will run fine on my machine, even with openoffice.org-gtk package installed.
3. Run as sudo
    I know this should not be done, but for testing purposes, I tried it and it worked flawlessly...

I hope this helps resolve this...
