Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open the attached pptx in Impress.

Notice that there are spacing between Asian and non-Asian text, so that the paragraph goes to two lines. Go to paragraph formatting > Asian Typography, you see that the option "spacing between Asian and non-Asian text" is checked.

2. Open the attached pptx in MSO.

Notice that there are no spacing between Asian and non-Asian text, so that the paragraph fits in one line.

Expected:
The PPTX should look the same as in MSO when open in Impress. Probably, the  Asian Typography > spacing between Asian and non-Asian text should be turned off by default in Impress.

Reproduced in:

Version: 24.8.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 53c5d570cab036b23f4969b858a648c8f0c24f93
CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 6.5; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US
Calc: CL threaded

In Office 365 (web), even though the text still overflows to a second line, there are no spaces and the first line can fit more characters.

Marking as new as something needs to be done for compatibility, but I'm not sure what would be the best solution.
See also bug 136663, for a conditional default to off for that setting. My understanding is that the setting's "best" default would depend on the language.

Maybe Gabor wants to chime in regarding OOXML?

This should have an option in Options -> Languages and Locales -> Asian Layout.
