I see exactly the same thing.

What's odd is that it /seems/ to be specific to Fedora (or maybe Linux). 
This operation works correctly under Windows, and under other Linux 
distros (by some reports I've seen).

I'm wondering who should deal with the issue: Fedora, Mozilla, or OOo? I 
have no idea what the problem might be, or how to track down more 
information, so I hesitate to file a report.
