Created attachment 189188 [details] Visual comparison PowerPoint (left) vs Impress (right)
Problem is, that both the default and the actual tap positions specified by PowerPoint are larger than the text area width. LibreOffice behaves unreasonable in such cases. It should use the right edge as tab stop in such cases. The problem is not a problem in the import filter, but you can see the same problem with a text box created in LibreOffice.
Both paragraphs are left aligned. The text portions are right aligned by a right-align tab stop.

Happy to confirm this fixes my original bug document. What a two liner can change sometimes! :-) Are you planning to add a testcase?
