I took the leap and cloned 7.6 and it has the rtf margin bug!!
ads at ADS4:~/Downloads/libreoffice/linux-64-7.6/instdir/program$
./soffice --version
LibreOfficeDev 7.6.8.0.0 3a0801282a0aabc64a15f9afc3aedeac6226a979

So the bug was introduced between 7.5.10.0.0 and 7.6.8.0.0.
(released version 7.6.7.2 fails too.)

Now I hope someone more knowledgeable than me can pinpoint the failure
and fix it.

Thanks.
