libreoffice is using different algorithm for computing space around text borders that the one used in word. see comparison.png that illustrates the problem. it is not a big problem per se, but can break document layout in incorrectly formatted documents.

quite possibly so, doesn't appear to be a new problem though,
e.g. same difference in OOo 3.0.1 and OOo 3.4beta.

bug 96321 is also about this borders on 1.5 spacing (or double spacing etc) - but the borders just follow the character area, not the spacing area.
