The same happened here, on Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex with OO 2.4.

The problem persists when I set the font rendering in Gnome's "Appearance preferences" to anything, but subpixel smoothing. If I choose monochrome it even messes up the Gnome menus and desktop. With subpixel smoothing the problem seems to go away. (thanks for the tip! It's really annoyed me having to switch to metacity whenever I want to edit a document)

Also the problem doesn't appear in metacity.

I suspect it's something to do with compositing the driver.
