Great.

SORRY. I had forgotten about a former visit to this thread, and had missed the 
mentioned comment by Regina. 
Anyway I couldn't test with the two builds she mentioned, and my test with 
V5.0.2.2.release (32 bit PortableApp on Win 10; version before the claimed 
change) showed the issue in exactly the same way as the "Bad  rendering since 
2015_08_12" in Regina's comparison did.

I appreciate Regina's contributions, of course. I'm also glad that
contributions by the teacher I am would be welcome. Unfortunately I
completely lack the needed knowledge about fonts and many related
topics. Being 75 now I also cannot expect to find my way inside the
labyrinth which C-code in general and the code base of a huge project
like LibreOffice in specific is to me during the time left.

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

Status in LibreOffice:
  Confirmed
Status in OpenOffice:
  Confirmed
Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
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
  libreoffice-writer:
    Installed: 1:3.3.3-1ubuntu2
    Candidate: 1:3.3.3-1ubuntu2
    Version table:
   *** 1:3.3.3-1ubuntu2 0
          100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
       1:3.3.2-1ubuntu5 0

Packages
       1:3.3.2-1ubuntu4 0
          500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty/main i386 Packages

  3) When is expected to happen in LibreOffice Writer via a terminal:
  cd ~/Desktop && wget 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/827695/+attachment/2284273/+files/bracket_example.odt
 && lowriter --nologo bracket_example.odt

  is the scalable square brackets look as they would in Word. Latex also
  shows the desired bracket shape as per
  
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/827695/+attachment/2287347/+files/latex_brackets.pdf
  .

  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.
