Annoyance 1: to create - highlight text on a slide and go Format>Character>Position - set Position to Subscript, deactivate Automatic, - and then the relative font size gets set to 1% instead of the default setting of 58%! What gives? That setting makes no sense, why not have it be the default? Annoyance 2: why doesn't Impress remember the Raise/lower by setting? I want ALL my subscripts to be the same, namely 20% - why can't Impress remember that once I set that the first time? Right now, I have to format every single one from 33/27% to 20%. Hardly efficient ...
Reproducible with version 4.2.3.0.0+ under Linux / Ubuntu 13.10 x86-64 I experienced this bug before reading this bug report during a real life use of Impress and I did not see that the size of the subscripts was set to 1% and it seemed that the formatted text was removed. Very annoying. That said, once I have changed the bad default values to something else for a first character formatting, then next formattings remember the modified values, even if I close and reopen LibreOffice.

Hm, I just tried it with 4.2.1.1 and it works now. HOWEVER it is STILL messed up when you use the shortcut CTRL+SHIFT+B. If you use it once with the desired settings (e.g. lower by 20% and font size 67%), then the shortcut uses a totally arbitrary lower by 33% and font size 58%.
It is a very serious bug. Please fix it soon. Thanks.
Same bug as bug 75307, already fixed. Best regards JBF *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 75307 ***
