This is a always what happens to good software, be it FOSS, commercial, 
shareware, whatever.  Developers keep adding features until it becomes 
bloated, buggy, and slow.

Then users complain about it being bloated, buggy, and slow.

If you need that type of precision for your project, maybe LO isn't the 
correct software.

My suggestion would be to try page layout software and a basic 
CAD/drawing program.  Do your drawing (I'm assuming you need to do more 
than just a line) then input the drawing into the page layout software 
where you'll have so much better options for layout than you ever will 
in LO.

FWIW, I've yet to see any word processing that has more than 2 decimal 
places for spacing.

Also, if you want truly good looking text, use page layout software and 
a quality font.  I've yet to see a word processor that does kerning. 
Word processors do character spacing, which is not the same.  Document 
processors do kerning, AFAIK.
