The unification of layout systems is not a bad thing. Layout display on Mac OS
(and Win) has had its own issues. Anyway, you shouldn't use the "fresh" branch
of LO, unless you are willing to report issues. The "still" branch is the
stable one (the higher its bug-fix version part, the more stable, while
supported [1]). If you really need LO 5.3 now, then you could disable the new
engine as described here:
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=89870#c32 (there most
likely won't be a choice in LO 5.4, but there should be fewer issues then as
well).

There is no contradiction. Layout engine is just one part responsible for the
document display. And apparently more code than just the layout engine has been
unified - namely the parts interfacing with it. And that's where this issue
lies.
