Bug Description

Binary package hint: openoffice.org

oo writer.
when editing a table, a popup menu appears. This menu cannot be dragged fast with mouse: it will stop when mouse acceleration is too high.
When you go over a button with mouse it will be highlighted, but when you go over another button the old one won't be de-highlighted. You can highlight all available buttons! That's just a refresh problem since if you close table menu and re-open it all button are clear.

This is probably a problem with all pop-up menus as that same problem exists with the "Bullets and Numbering" menu. Another way to get the buttons to their correct de-highlighted state is to move another window over top of the menu bar. When a button in the menu bar reappears, it is redrawn correctly as de-highlighted.

I know that's a trivial bug, but if we are trying to propose OO as a
"professional" program (in the sense "something that's not just a bunch of
code written by some opensource geeks, but something able to subsitute
commercial suites) we have to pay attention also to trivial details.
Thank you for your work guys!
