Open Office drop down menus (title and subsequent menu options) are just underscores (_)

[aaronpoole]

Binary package hint: openoffice.org

If I scroll the mouse through the menus quickly, I can briefly see the words for the menus, but not much. I've used the program before without this problem. It must have happened when I updated the machine. I'm using ver. 2.4.1 on Ubuntu 8.10. I will try to upgrade to the newest open office to see if it fixes the problem. I can still type and use the program normally, but I just can't see the menu options (or the words that come up on the buttons in the dialog boxes).
