Strange bug in GO-OpenOffice 3.1 regarding file opening of long names

I've noticed a very annoying bug regarding go-openoffice 3.1.0.99.2-1, reproduced by me multiple times. When I try to open some kind of file, regardless of what it is (could be an .ODT or .DOC), and do this by selecting it with File->Open, OpenOffice gives me an error like the one below

As you can see although I've selected the proper file with the proper name, OO is trying to open a file with a name somewhat shortened, i.e. missing letter "T" at the end. The same file opens without any problem when I selected it in Dolphin. Now, what a strange bug! Anyone had similar experience? Any known solutions to this? It seems to happen only when the name of the file is longer than one line in the OO "opening tab" or whatever it's called.

does it happen also in the vanilla OOo? in all provided OOo versions(stable, -beta, -devel)?

Don't know about vanilla as I don't have it installed at the moment. Maybe someone else can confirm this bug?
