openoffice- type to end of line, space doesnt move cursor

[ave]

As a writer I use openoffice write a lot. What I've noticed is that whenever I type to the end of a line, a space is no longer visualised. So I will press space and nothing happens. I can press it 10 times and my little cursor stays in the same space. as soon as I type the next word however, the word is shifted to the next line and all those spaces are added in.

Im trying to file this under 100 papercuts, but cant seem to find where to do that, so I hope this is the right place

This issue is unreproducible in LibreOffice Writer. Does this work for you?

Hi Christopher

I installed libre office and it still seems to be doing the same
thing. I have had this problem since ubuntu 8.10

I have attached screenshots of the error and how to duplicate it. I
have also added the images to photobucket in case you cant access
them.

example 1

1.1: I type a sentence almost to the end of the line

1.2: I then press space until the cursor gets to the very end
http://i893.photobucket.com/albums/ac138/ave3/Screenshot12.jpg

1.3: press space once more and the cursor jumps back to the end of the
last word. If I press space 50x it will just stay here without moving.

example 2

2.1: I type past the first line.

       I then place the cursor at the end of the first line and press
space 10x- the cursor doesn't move.

2.2: a) I then insert an additional word (hello) midway through the
first sentence.
       b) only then does it insert the 10 spaces.

unfortunately my pc isnt connected to the internet, so when I run
apport-collect 71612 is says it cannot connect to launchpad- is there
another way I can do this manually. Sorry im clueless when it come to
this kind of thing.

regards
Brad
