OpenOffice broke: double-check before bugzilla

Hey, everyone:

I have the following RPM packages installed:

[root at rodolfo ~]# rpm -qa | grep openoffice | sort
openoffice.org-1.1.3-2.5.fc3
openoffice.org-libs-1.1.3-2.5.fc3

This update appears finally to have fixed a display problem wherein the
column headings disappeared, had artifacts, or were printed on odd parts
of the screen. Hopefully the fix is complete and permanent; well done!

However, at least one new problem have been introduced: the "paste"
command now does not actually paste; instead it inserts the cells you
paste, moving the rest of the cells in that column down. This is a
massive pain and really interferes with getting *any* work done. Now,
Edit->Paste Special works fine so I'm stuck using only that... but the
other 30 people in my office whom I converted to OOo are screaming
bloody murder.

Is anyone else seeing this? Is it a new bizarre configuration option
that was set to a badly-chosen default? Or is it a bug? I've looked
through Tools->Options, but nothing new strikes me.

Finally, if I need to bugzilla this at Red Hat, should I file it against
component "openoffice" or "openoffice.org"? They have both.

Cheers,
