Don't hesitate, please. Reporting bugs does help. Check back if the bug got
fixed, see if others commented on it. Part of the whole idea of being a
tester is precisely reporting bugs. If your bug is a duplicate, it might
add extra information anyway.

Not so much, as this could very well be completely unrelated.

This is actually <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=477174>. It
turns out the bug is tickled by OOo (exclusively?), but isn't an OOo bug.


Perhaps this is a Bugzilla issue, that Antonio didn't find this bug (I
originally reported it against OOo)?
