I very much doubt that: it looks like a bug. There's a number of things that Would Be Useful To Know, though: * Which program has the "HTML form"? Do you see the same problems across Mozilla, Firefox and Konqueror? * Which version of Fedora? * Are you up to date on fixes? * Which version and release of the applications? (Use rpm -qi openoffice.org, for example) * Do you get the same problem from other parts of Open Office? Other programs? Pasting into anything else? * Do you get the same problem if you create a new user and log in as them? Sorry, that's quite a checklist. But it's going to be asked... If the bug hasn't been fixed, then it should probably go in Bugzilla. But it will help them if you can gather this information first.
