This is how the platform does it. LibreOffice menus are native on the Mac. It’s the same as in e.g. Safari: go to File > Share, and you’ll see the same alignment. In macOS, the leftmost column in the menus is always reserved to checkmarks and bullets.

Well I can confirm the behaviour, but whether or not it is a bug I can't say : Apps that behave like LO : Firefox Thunderbird Adium Google Chrome Apps that don't behave like LO (and align the text entry irrespective of the presence/absence of the icon) : Adobe Reader Most of the Apple own apps either don't show any icons next to the menu entry, or else behave like Firefox, TB, Adium, Chrome and LO. (Comparison made with Apple Pages, Numbers, Keynote, Mail).
Adolfo proofed that we follow the system standard, which is ugly and makes reading difficult, I totally agree. But our default setting for menu icons is "Automatic" meaning off like macOS apps look like by default.
