Libreoffice spreadsheet x-axis formatting - bad

I have a spreadsheet that has numerous x-axis values which are dates. Previously, I had formatted the x-axis to show staggered values (since displaying them all just makes a black smear) and also to angle them at 45 degrees. This showed correctly in previous versions of Libreoffice and also Neooffice.
With this version 4 I now get the black smear of all values which is unreadable.
If I play around with Label and Positioning settings, I can get a staggered readable display, although only with somewhat random checking of checkboxes.

Meanwhile, Neooffice still correctly displays the original document and Libreoffice doesn't.

So something must've changed between version 3 and version 4.

I've attached 2 screenshots to show the difference. One is Libreoffice ver. 4 and the other is NeoOffice 3.3 which is the same as Libreoffice version 3 was.

Sorry for forgetting to reply sooner. The original issue seems to have gone away. I don't know how. I assume I tweaked enough settings but I really don't know. As I recall, there were only a few settings that affected this x-axis date display.
Also, I prefer not to send you the file since it is a large spreadsheet with data I'd rather not share.
For now, the issue has subsided. However, if it reappears I'll try to make a test sheet and repost that here.

Thank you.
