But it seems like LibreOffice should be smart enough to properly scale the brackets by itself. How does LaTeX do things like that? Would its techniques in any way be transferable to LibreOffice?

In Writer, it is impossible to have two math objects overlap. So, can anyone do something about this? Kinda makes LibreOffice a non- starter when it comes to putting math formulas in documents.

Is there any system at libreoffice whereby I can put a bounty on this bug (say $100) and have someone else (like an admin or something) determine when its fixed, who fixed it and award the money accordingly? Thanks, peter.

I hope the developers get this bug fixed soon. I've had to switch away from LibreOffice until this is fixed. This bug truly makes LibreOffice a non-starter for any kind of technical/scientific document or presentation--and those are the types of users who would tend to be most inclined to use LibreOffice over proprietary competitors as long as the quality is comparable.

I agree with rfvuhbtg above - the most likely professional users of libreoffice are people who are likely to use this functionality. Because of this bug, we can't use libreoffice to produce professional looking work.
