There's a lot of discussion about what happens when LANG=C in Bug 125995. This may be a related issue.

Hello,
It's been a while since this issue was reported.
Could you please try to reproduce it with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/ ?
I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' if the bug is still present in the latest version.
