What exact version of Open Office are you running?  Mine (on both
systems where I see the bug) is:-

    Open Office 3.1.1
    OOO310m19 (Build 9420)

... and you are sure you haven't got the bug?  You bring up an Open
Office window (e.g. word processor) that's not full screen and when
you resize it the contents don't change in size.  So if, for example,
you reduce the window size from the top the toolbars disappear.

I had it once before and, if I remember right, upgrading something
fixed it but sadly I can't quite remember the details. As it's
happening on two systems with different graphics processors it seems
unlikely to be a low level graphics problem.  Also, as it's only Open
Office I guess it's likely to be an Open Office issue, or some library
they're using that no one else it using.
