Using LM17.3 Mate.  LO v5.0.3.2

Very strange here.  Copy and pasted sample and set margin, text type and
text size as suggested and then did copy + paste.

Text appeared as above.

In turn tried Align left (did as expected), Align right (did as expected) 
Align centre (did as expected) Justify (text remained as pasted).
