spaces do not appear until next character is typed

[mtribbett]

Binary package hint: openoffice.org

when typing a 'space' ( ) the courser will not move forward a space until the next character is typed. this is true also of double spaces. I.e. at the end of a sentence i type a "." and then two spaces but the curser remains immediately after the period until i type the first letter of the next sentence. most of the time not a problem but can be very irritating when going back to edit things and you can't remember if you already typed the 'space' or not. Evidently this is only a problem on a specific document i'm working on.

my os is Ubuntu 9.04

I forgot to mention that if I copy and paste the text into a new document, the problem persists. Maybe a problem with formating?
