I just checked, and accessibility was enabled.  I hadn't enabled it, so 
it must have been shipped enabled.  I disabled it and launched 
oowriter.... now it works.  Since I never use the accessibility feature, 
it won't hurt for me to leave it disabled for now.  This could be a real 
pita for those who need the accessibility features.
I read the info on the bug shown above.  I downloaded the patch, but I'm 
not sure where this patch is supposed to be applied.
Thanks for the reply.
