  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.
