Binary package hint: openoffice.org

I've used Feisty and Gutsy but this problem has started happening only recently. Here are the steps to reproduce:

1. Open a document in oowriter.

2. Put the laptop to sleep.

3. Resume the laptop.

Here are the symptoms:

1. Scrolling in the openoffice document is jerky. Basically, if I hit page up or page down, oowriter freezes for a few seconds and compiz grays the oowriter window (to show that the app is not responding), eventually oowriter unfreezes, refreshes its screen and is responsive again. If I try to scroll again, the same freeze repeats.

2. Sometimes oowriter seems to also cause other applications to temporarily be unresponsive. The symptom here is that compiz grays *all* the windows on the screen for a few seconds until oowriter becomes reponsive again.

3. No other application freezes like that after resume. Note that symptom 2 above happens *only* when oowriter is running.

4. This one is also a workaround: if I restart openoffice, the problem goes away.
