When scrolling to the top with mouse wheel, the top 4 to 5 rows always 'disappear. They reappear after clicking on any cell

My first comment says it all. almost every time I scroll to the top of the sheet, the top couple of rows disappear, then re-appear as soon as you click in any cell, or scroll down, then back up slow.

Can you attach an example document that exhibits this problem?

Chris,

The attached file would exhibit this behavior. I sent you the same file
on a previous e-mail. I tried Worksheet 1G right before I sent this to
you. It would randomly 'hide' rows 4-6 when I would scroll back up to
the top. Before I deleted all of the data from the spreadsheet, all of
the sheets would exhibit this behavior. It was random, but maybe 1 out
of 4 or 5 times you scrolled to the top, it would 'hide' rows 4-6.
Scrolling back and forth a couple of times would bring them back.

Just a comment: I have used Excel and Word for years, but thought I
would give open office (and Ubuntu) a try. I like Ubuntu, but to date,
Open Office just has not been very stable. I had several crashes caused
by 'errant' keystrokes, and the copying back and forth between
OpenOffice Word and Spreadsheet with large files was almost impossible.
I finally gave up and finished with MS Excel and Word, which easily
handled it.

Can you still reproduce this bug on Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid)?
