Example of bad behavior for scalable brackets

As shown on attached document (which includes a Math object and a
screenshot with the problem highlighted), if you use scalable brackets
for a big object like a matrix, they became more and more "bold",
something should not happen.

A workaround is to make the scalable brackets as usual, then make two
more brackets (left and right) by themselves--two additional math
objects, then use the Position and Size window to scale these up to the
proper size, then position them on top of the bad brackets and use the
align tool to make sure the good brackets and the math formula are
properly aligned vertically.

But it seems like LibreOffice should be smart enough to properly scale
the brackets by itself.  How does LaTeX do things like that?  Would its
techniques in any way be transferable to LibreOffice?

Turns out the workaround I proposed is only possible in Impress.  In
Writer, it is impossible to have two math objects overlap.

So, can anyone do something about this?  Kinda makes LibreOffice a non-
starter when it comes to putting math formulas in documents.

Hi there - I need this bug fixed or I'll have export my thesis to word.
Is there any system at libreoffice whereby I can put a bounty on this
bug (say $100) and have someone else (like an admin or something)
determine when its fixed, who fixed it and award the money accordingly?

Thanks,
peter.

I'd just like to add that the problem shows up for parentheses and
braces as well as brackets.


I hope the developers get this bug fixed soon.  I've had to switch away from 
LibreOffice until this is fixed.  

This bug truly makes LibreOffice a non-starter for any kind of
technical/scientific document or presentation--and those are the types
of users who would tend to be most inclined to use LibreOffice over
proprietary competitors as long as the quality is comparable.

Sorry, I have to retract the offer above as I am now slowly converting
my thesis to word. I agree with rfvuhbtg above - the most likely
professional users of libreoffice are people who are likely to use this
functionality. Because of this bug, we can't use libreoffice to produce
professional looking work.

@Jean-Baptiste Faure - thanks very much for this. I'll have to redo my
diagrams, but at least I get to keep using libreoffice :)

Title:
  [Upstream] bug in displaying scalable square brackets in math object

Status in LibreOffice Productivity Suite:
  Confirmed
Status in The OpenOffice.org Suite:
  Confirmed
Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in “openoffice.org” package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  1) lsb_release -rd
  Description:  Ubuntu 11.04
  Release:      11.04

  2) apt-cache policy libreoffice-writer

  3) When is expected to happen in LibreOffice Writer with embedded LO
  Math equation is the scalable square brackets look as they would in
  Word.

  4) What happens instead is the top and bottom part of the bracket look
  like a square instead of a line pointing inwards towards the equation.
