The openoffice is from openoffice.org (v1.1.2) and staroffice 7 with and without staroffice patch 3. When typing an german umlaut instead of the umlaut apears two ASCI's. It looks like office does not accept the utf-8 input. In i18n is set to LANG="de_DE.UTF-8", no other programs have this problem. The problem does not depend on the Windowmanager, it apears under KDE, Gnome, failsafe.
