     If, in your first test, you hit <ENTER> after each short line, then you're
getting what I expect.  Hitting <ENTER> ends a "paragraph", and the "Save as
Text" *does* put an end-of-line at the end of each paragraph.

     In your second test:

     Is the text you pasted what I posted as the result of Save as Text?  So it
was two rather long lines?

     Did you change the left and right margins to force more dramatic line
wrapping?

     How are you testing the resulting text file?  I open it in Notepad.  With
very wide margins in LibreOffice, the lines of text are so short they don't
come anywhere near the width of the Notepad window.  If your Notepad window is
as wide as the default LibreOffice margins would make the usable part of a
page, and you have word-wrap enabled in Notepad, it might reproduce what was
displayed in LibreOffice.

     I tried pasting my sample text into LibreOffice without changing margins
or font.  The first line fits.  The second line gets broken into two lines. 
When I Save as Text, the output text file still contains only two lines -- just
like the original.

     It doesn't seem likely that they changed it from 4.2 to 5.3, then took it
out by 5.4.
