Writer document with single 's' as watermark

I found out that the watermark is too big if just one single letter (e.g. 's') is being used. Starting at about three characters, the size seem OK. See example attached.
This bug may be more relevant if the glyph being used representing some company logo (in a special font).

Reproduced in 7.1.4.2 (Linux): Opening the original document shows the problem, and recreating a new document also shows it.

Possible: Yes, but fixed: No

The "s" is way too big.

Still way too big.

Still too big, but starting to become acceptable.

Just in case you wonder *why* this may be important: Just think of some logo font where the company logo is one single character in such a font. Obviously one wants to see the logo untruncated.
