Overview image of LibreOffice Impress, Writer, and Powerpoint superscript
handling

This bug is still there in LO 6.0.5.2. I have attached an image comparing
LibreOffice Impress, Writer, and Powerpoint. One can immediately see, that the
default superscript setting puts the superscript way too low. As others have
mentioned this is not a matter of design choice or popular oppinion. The way it
is handled at the moment is just plain wrong. I am a physicist and I can not
use this software for anything if I have to manually adjust every superscript
position because otherwise the information conveyed can be easily
misinterpreted. 

At the very least there needs to be a setting to change the default in Impress.
While it is possible to adjust a layout in Writer (which does not suffer from
this problem) this feature is not available in Impress. An even better way
would be to not just provide a changeable default setting but also set a more
reasonable default from the get go. The positioning in Writer is completely
satisfactory.
