Interesting, but can you post a document so that we can check? I used
to use abiword, but that is useless with docx so I switched to LO with
not much discomfort. I am using 4.1.1.2-2 in F19.

Of course, I use LaTeX for most of my mathematical and scientific
things, so I may not have occasion to come across your issue.
