Correct

Ideally we should fine-tune our equivalent parameters so all documents looks
the same in LibreOffice as well as Word (which a docx document is most probably
created in). True about the fact sometimes not all documents are rendered the
same in different M$ Office products, but in this case I can confirm it renders
the same way as the screenshot of Adam (used Mac OSX 10.8.5 with Word for Mac
2011).

Yes, for distribution, but not for editing purpose. With that 'mentality' we
should kill the docx import filter, because "you should use pdf for
distribution". :)

Very correct :)... unless the reporter is a known developer. You are right
about the fact this isn't a "rule", but this is an "unwritten assumption"
("rule" is a wrong word :p) in our QA-system. I told Adam, who is a known
developer in our community, in other bugs report he can mark mark his own bugs
as NEW

Mmh, hard one :). But yes, maybe enhancement request.

Okay, after all:

I _FAIL_ to reproduce this using Mac OSX 10.8.5 with LibreOffice version:
4.1.2.3 Build ID: 40b2d7fde7e8d2d7bc5a449dc65df4d08a7dd38
Document is rendered same way as in Word (screenshot Adam) and Word for Mac
2011.

But, nevertheless indisputable reproducible on Windows (screenshot Adam, known
developer) -> NEW right away

I can't test on master 4.2.0.0 right now, there are no tinderbox builds for Mac
OSX.

@Mariosv: I hope you agree :)?

Kind regards,
Joren
