EPS file to reproduce the problem

This is a regression that appeared between LibreOffice 3.4.5.2 in Fedora 16 and LibreOffice 3.5.4.2 in Fedora 17.

When inserting an encapsulated PostScript (.eps) file, the image is not scaled correctly: it is shrunk vertically, with much white space at the top. The only way to get the correct scale is to cut it and to make it higher manually - but it's hard to get the correct aspect ratio right.

I'm attaching an example EPS file, but I have many of them reproducing the problem. Also have a look at the PDF of the result. ;-)

Confirmed with 3.6.0beta1.

This is actually not a bug in LO itself, but in ImageMagick from Fedora 17. I've been able to reproduce the bug with versions of LO from 3.4 and 3.5 too, some of which I knew were working in Fedora 16. Calling /usr/bin/convert on the attached .eps file, I get the exact same scaling problem.
