  3) What is expected to happen in Ubuntu 11.04 is when one opens the
  following document in LibreOffice Writer via the Terminal:

  cd ~/Desktop && wget
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/770207/+attachment/2087986/+files
  /openoffice-doc.odt && lowriter -nologo openoffice-doc.odt

  the document looks as it does in Abiword and Ubuntu 10.10's OpenOffice
  Writer (please see attached Screenshot of how the document looks under
  OpenOffice.)

  4) What happens is some of the text is misaligned (please see attached
  This is how the .odt document looks under LibreOffice.)

  WORKAROUND: Use Abiword.

  lsb_release -rd :

  apt-cache policy abiword

  Reporter comments:
  The options in Format -> Paragraph -> Indents & Spacing -> Indent is used to influence when the tabulator key was pressed. When pressing the tabulator key, the cursor would jump to the "Before text" point. So, I wouldn't have to set a tabstop at that point, as long as Format -> Paragraph -> Indents & Spacing -> Indent -> Before text was set.
