MS Word doc showing the issue

The layout in the attached MS Doc is wrong compared to MS Word.
In LO there is also an additional frame separated from the figure.
Operating System: Windows 7
Version: 4.0.2.2 release

I can confirm this at least back to 3.5.4 release (probably goes back to OOo). 

Updating summary to be more precise.

I have been able to confirm the issue on:
Version 3.5.4 (with bibisect - bibisect is unhelpful for this bug - not a regression)
Platform: Bodhi Linux 2.2 x64
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + 
As I've been able to confirm this problem on an earlier release I am changing the version number as version is the earliest version that we can confirm the bug, we use comments to say that the bug exists in newer versions as well.

Marking as:

New (confirmed)
Normal - can prevent high quality work
Normal - very strange behavior but probably limited # of people being affected

doc compared MSO LO

Repro 7.2+.
If DOC saved in MSO as DOCX, MSO opens it as LO opens DOC.
I set as low.

repro 7.6+
An AS-CHAR drawing canvas overlaps with a frame in MSO, but in LO it wraps (down) because it doesn't fit.

Complicated by right-to-left I imagine.
