Oh - the usual scenario with debugging ;-)

I'd be most interested to see the document that triggers the wrong
behavior - is there any in the bugzilla?  Or can you please produce a
minimal one?

For the behavior that is different in LibreOffice and MSO, if there is
no possibility to make both happy, we have the concept of compatibility
options; if there is no other way, this will make it, I'm sure :-)

An example of a compatibility option:

Do you think this would help your case?
