Comment 18 for bug 216939

Looks like the culprit is gnome-screensaver-command which is set as proximity command in blueproximity. When I run that command in a loop (without running blueproximity) I get the same behavior that the menu in OO opens and closes every 5 seconds.

Run the following batch script in a terminal window, then give focus to OO Writer:

#!/bin/bash
for (( ; ; ))
do
   gnome-screensaver-command -p
   sleep 5
done
