It's plausibly correct behaviour if documents are written for printing
and never to be shared other than perhaps inside a single office on
sneakernet. It's broken, and a notorious pain in the backside, when
documents are being widely emailed around and are frequently never
printed at all. It's Word being stuck in the early nineties. That OOo
does not do this, and leaves your text where you put it, is the
absence of a bug.
