OpenOffice Sample Text
These first two examples were objects copied from an openoffice document. In newer versions of LibreOffice, they spill outside the bounding box AND when the box is adjusted, they change size only on height. They are supposed to scale.
These next two example text boxes were created in LibreOffice 3.6.5.2 (or 4.0.0.3) and are also set to “fit to frame” but neither behave how you'd expect. Play with the size of the frame, the text does weird things.
