Hi :)
Given the answers in the thread at AOO i suspect it is a bug.
Here is a guide to help post a bug-report. Don't take it all too
seriously. They ask for a lot but if it's not easy to give all that
straight away just post anyway. Later on you can add comments so you
can get all the required information together in the report in a few
posts at your own pace. It might be that they are able to help
without even having all the info straight away anyway.
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport
If this list does solve the problem you can always close the report
and let people know how and that might help those people over at AOO too.
Just out of curiosity do you have any of the general information, such
as user-name and stuff 'filled in'? There was something that only
worked if you had at least 1 or 2 characters, even empty spaces in
there. Aaargh, i'm at a Windows machine that doesn't have LibreOffice
or even OpenOffice, yet. I might have to make sure i get the portable
version worked out in case i'm ever here again!
Apols and regards from
Tom :)

*Subject:* Re: [libreoffice-users] Default Superscript and
Subscript size
Hi all,
Actually none of these things are happening Tom. The only way that
I can get what I want is by selecting every instance individually
which is just impractical.
Steve, I can do exactly the same as well but once the changes are
selected there is no difference at all when I start typing. I
select my desired size and click Apply, then when I reopen the
document... the changes are still there. However, when I press
Ctrl-Shift-P to get superscript (or Ctrl-Shift-B for subscript)
the size is back to 58%. As I said before, I can change it after I
have typed it by selecting it and then going to Format ->
Character and changing it to 70%. I just cannot find a way so that
whenever I toggle super/sub-script on... I get the desired size.
I've followed the directions in the writer guide, and this seems
to me to be intuitively what should be done... but no effect takes
place. That's why I thought it could be a bug.

I apply and exit.

main problem is that the Automatic box gets checked again as soon
as I close the window. It's not a problem that arises when
starting a new document but as soon as I try to make the changes.
