Yes, for line charts, the legend key should be wider.

For the workaround it suffices to make the font of the legend larger, but of
course this looks not very nice.

What you effectively did by enlarging and shrinking again, is to use line dashes
with smaller distances. I would suggest to use different dashes as a work-around
for your problem. If the list of available dashes does not suit you, you can add
more user-defined one with Calc or Draw. Select a line, chose "Line" and there
to "Line Styles". There you can define new ones and save them under any name.

Problem is, you have to close and reopen the document to have them available in
the chart. This is still an open issue, as well as being able to add line dashes
directly in the chart. However, once reloaded you can use the new dashes. I'll
attach an example.

DevNote: The system for generating legend icons should be adapted, such that the
width of a legend key may be dependent on the symbol type used. Currently all
symbols have the same (bounding box) size, which is partly empty (e.g. for
boxes) If I would make the keys wider, there would be more spaces wasted for
boxes, so such a flexible systems seems more appropriate.
