When I open my son's homework in Okular, it renders perfectly.

When I open it in Libre Office Draw, the text spacing/positioning makes it unusable for him to submit his homework. I have attached the original pdf. I would like to have attached a screen grab of how it looks in Draw but I can only add one attachment. Describing the problem:

The PDF shows fraction maths. The fractions are positioned correctly but the text has strange word spacing (as though the spaces have been replaced with tabs or like each paragraph has been formatted as 'justified'). In the equations, the operators (+,- & =) are each rendered in their own box, which is a) in the wrong place - usually the first one shunted right and overlaying the second (e.g. fraction1, big space fraction2 big space, then  '+' & '=' overlayed off to the right, rather than 'fraction1 + fraction2 =', as you'd expect and b) not re-sizable (from a long and fruitless effort to manually re-position everything - not a practical solution to this bug, but maybe pertinent to the problem)
Comment 1 Greg 2020-05-20 09:16:54 UTC
Incidentally, the reason I used 'other' for hardware and Linux, is that Pi's are RISC architecture and it's using Raspbian (Pi variant of Debian Linux)

Thank you for reporting the bug. I can not reproduce the bug in Libre Office 7.1 version It seems to me that it might be an OS problem as I am using Windows 10 and I don't see any abnormal spacing

The version you are using is super old. Please try with an appimage of 7.0: https://libreoffice.soluzioniopen.com/
"Download the file, make it executable by flagging the option in the “Properties” panel (to access it, right-click on the icon), and enjoy the application! No need to install the software. No system libraries or system preferences altered in the process."
