The question in my mind is why does it work with jre1.6.0_22 from Java? I originally reported this bug with OpenOffice.org a year ago and I've since switched to LibreOffice. I've kept the version of java that works with it, but have tried each new java when it has been installed with upgrades to my system. Why does it work with that one java and not the others that we get from the repositories for Ubuntu. I vaguely recall that the source of java changed some time back. I wonder if I should try a newer version from java.com. I'll see if I can do that and report back.
