But it doesn't look like there's been any activity on it for long time. I only recently stumbled on this bug while putting together a document/presentation in LibreOffice. You can kind of work around it in Impress in a roundabout way by making a big font non-scalable bracket and putting it on top of the bad one, but there's no working around it in Writer. For any kind of stuff where you might use big brackets in math formulas, it makes Impress more difficult to use and Writer impossible to use compared to MS Office.
There's already a bug report about this, I think, here:
https:/ /bugs.freedeskt op.org/ show_bug. cgi?id= 32362
which also points back to an older bug from OpenOffice.org here:
