OpenOffice automatically sets focus on menu bar

[Bullwye]

Binary package hint: openoffice.org

The Problem i have encountered is, that during working with Calc the focus is set to the menu bar, every 20-60 seconds. Just editing some Cell and Woops its beeping, because focus has changed to menu bar...

Greetings

Do you still have this problem with openoffice.org 1:2.4.1-1ubuntu2?

Thanks,

Problem seems to be fixed in Version 2.4.1. Have been working with M$ Products the last days, but after getting email about this thread updated ubuntu and everything's working fine now!

Does this happen on all documents or just on some?

I'm experiencing the very same problem.

OpenOffice.org: 2.4.1 (same version as mentioned above)
Kernel: 2.6.24-19-generic #1 SMP Fri Jul 11 23:41:49 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux
Distribution: xubuntu 8.0.4
CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 6000+

I had that problem on a Debian Etch amd64, too.

For me it's file-independant. It occurs with long-used Spreadsheet files as well as with blank spreadsheets, even with no document opened at all.

The frequency is somewhat irregular between 1-2 minutes.

This is what strace for the process is outputting at the moment the menu bar (file) is focused:
