on 64-bit linuces, copy-pasting calc cells into writer misbehaves: inserted 
ole object defauts to the (empty) top left cells. this produces an ole object 
that usually displays nothing but empty cells.
this does not affect 32-bit versions of linux.

steps to reproduce :
1) open writer, open calc. go to calc.
2) fill some cells, say, A21,B21 and C21 for instance.
3) select those cells, and copy them (Ctrl+C)
4) go to writer, and paste those cells (Ctrl+V)
5) see the result : you'll get a empty, 1-row 3-column ole object
6) double-click this ole object to edit it
7) scroll down to line 21, you'll find your data
8) click somewhere else on writer page to stop editing the ole object : 
hopefully you'll get the expected result, usually object's dimensions change 
and you need to manually resize it.

see this ubuntu forums' thread :

this issue is a major showstopper for anyone who often inserts calc objects in 
writer. it seriously alters productivity because any copy-pasted object from 
calc to writer needs to be edited twice to get something approching the 
expected result.

from my experience, it only affects 64-bit versions of linux (obviously 
running 32-bit version of OOo). i've been using OOo ever since 2.x is out, 
this bug affects all versions (2.1, 2.2, 2.3). This has been encountered on 
several 64-bit distributions, amongst them ubuntu (7.04 and 7.10 beta), 
sabbayon, etc.
