Bug Description

1) lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 12.10
Release: 12.10

2) apt-cache policy libreoffice-writer
libreoffice-writer:
  Installed: 1:3.6.2~rc2-0ubuntu3
  Candidate: 1:3.6.2~rc2-0ubuntu3
  Version table:
     1:3.6.2~rc2-0ubuntu4 0
        400 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ quantal-proposed/main i386 Packages
 *** 1:3.6.2~rc2-0ubuntu3 0
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ quantal/main i386 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

3) What is expected to happen in Writer via a terminal:
cd ~/Desktop && wget https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/1077358/+attachment/3429463/+files/bug.doc && unoconv --listener && unoconv -f rtf bug.doc && lowriter --nologo bug.doc bug.rtf

is the two files look the same.

4) What happens instead is the table in the .rtf has been expanded horizontally to the full width of the document.
