A temporary fix until the openoffice devs fixed this bug.
Use cifs mounts to mount the share directly.
Add an line to /etc/fstab to mount the samba share directly and you will not experience the problems caused by using gvfs.
Here's how:
Add a line for each share you want to open to the /etc/fstab file
Either like this:
//192.168.44.100/share_name /path_to/mount_point cifs username=server_user,password=server_password,_netdev,uid=client_username,gid=users 0 0
or use a .cred file to store your password/username like I did because you do not want readable in /etc/fstab

//192.168. 44.100/ share_name /path_to/ mount_point cifs credentials= /path_to/ .creds, _netdev, uid=client_ username, gid=users 0 0
example of .cred file
username=myusername
password=mypassword
chmod 600 .cred to make it only readable to the fileowner.
