Hi :)
+1
to making a bug-report.  It's a good thing to do.  

It is also worth trying LibreOffice 3.3.3 
http://www.libreoffice.org/download
as a temporary work-around

Good luck and regards from
Tom :)

I suggest filing a bug report about the poor rendering. The site is
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/ . You will need to create an account and
log in. Then select LibreOffice from the project list to enter the
report. Please include your screenshots.
