I've just got around to doing a bit more digging into this issue, and 
found it reported in Bugzilla Issue 117094:
   https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=117094

In case anyone else is having the same problem, there is a workaround 
suggested there - click "Add an attachment" and enter your comment 
there. You also have to attach a file, but I just created a short dummy 
text file and attached that. If they don't like the unnecessary 
attachments, perhaps they'll fix the problem with Bugzilla... ;o)

Mark.
