A year or two ago I asked about this bug because I needed it fixed for my thesis. Someone suggested using the TexMaths Equations editor instead (it embeds LaTeX into LibreOffice). This worked perfectly and saved me from having to convert my work to word. Is there any way we could just use this instead? It properly scales brackets with large objects. I'd recommend it, because I think this bug is about a decade old.
