bullets and numbering causes application switch, cannot be turned off

[Jasonce65]

Binary package hint: openoffice.org

Ubuntu 9.1, OpenOffice 3.0.1 build 9379

I want to type something like "10.5 hours" over on the right-hand side of the page, so I tab-tab-tab, etc, and type. It then automatically puts it back on the left-hand side of the page and follows it with 10.6... When I remove the 10.6 and click on 10.5 to move it back where I want it, whatever else is running is maximized, such as Firefox or the Screenlets I have running.

It also brings up the Bullets and Numbering floating dialog...

Turning off Bullets and Numbering then changes it to a "dot" style bullet. I can never get the numbers 10.5 where I want it on the page and it is extremely frustrating because the automatic numbering cannot be turned off as it should. Even purposefully turning it off does not work.
