Repro 6.2+. Not really correct document. Also wrong in MSO if saved as DOCX.

Problem file compared MSO LO

This is really a problematic file. 
If resaved in MSO, it opens differently there. 
While problems in LO are obvious, it's not realistic that LO emulates different behavior of MSO. 
It's best to close this bug. 
This may be NotOurBug or even WontFix, whatever, but we should not waste our limited volunteer resources on this file. 
For new files created in MSO, you are welcome to search first and open a bug.
