Bug Description

Ubuntu 10.04, AMD Phenom x64 x4, Open Officce 3.2.0 build 9483. I am using Czech. English, Hindi. In Open Office i cannot write many letters, but some of them are dispayed properly, some keystrokes are without any response. I must text write in other text editor (UEX, Gedit) then it is possible to copy text correctly (but there are again some small differences) in .odt document.

Can You try to write some letters (not text), for example (vbnm -> नवलस) in Your Open Office? Vhat happend? I see only first letter (vbnm -> न), nothing more, press enter, try it again (vbnm -> न) etc.

Thank You too for hints. Please, if Libre Office is standart for Ubuntu now, involve it into the supported programs installable due Synaptic Manager. My instalation was done from http://www.libreoffice.org/download/ following the instructions in Readme.
