There seems to be no coments for a month, so I thought it would be good to emphasize this - it's a *showstopper* for the whole distribution in a business enviroment.

It is unacceptable for an office suite to behave in such a manner - Linux still hasn't conquered the business world and files need to be exchanged with m$ office users. If we want any uptake in business use bugs like this need to never happen, ever!

But it is happening, and still no fix. If we cannot wait for upstream to fix it and/or backport a fix, then package OpenOffice 2.4 and give users the option to downgrade... or better yet, make 2.4 the default and if someone lives on an island and doesn't need to create doc files he can install 3.0.1 in it's current state...
