When the 'Subscript' and 'Superscript' buttons are displayed in the 'Text Formatting' toolbar, they create a different subscript and superscript size than the RadioButtons in Format>Character>Position. Steps to reproduce: - In Draw or Impress, start editing some text (select the text tool or click into a field like 'Click to add Title in Impress). In the Text Formatting toolbar appearing now, if the 'Subscript and 'Superscript' buttons are not displayed already, enable or add them (from category 'Format'). - In Draw or Impress, write new text such as 'E=mc2 H2O'. Select the first '2', and, using the RadioButtons in Format>Character>Position, format it as superscript. Do the same for the second '2', as a subscript. - Write the same text again and format the subscripts and superscripts with the buttons from the Text Formatting toolbar. Result: Inconsistent subscript and superscript sizes: Superscript created from Format>Character dialog has 70% size, created via the toolbar it has 58% size (checked by selecting the subscript and opening the Format>Character>Position dialog). Subscript sizes are 66% (Format Character) and 58% (toolbar). It looks awful when text like a2+b2=c2 (all '2' subscript) was formatted partly form the dialog, partly with the toolbar. What should be done: The same subscript and superscript sizes should be used everywhere. LibreOffice Writer uses 58% consistently. I'd prefer 66% or an item in the Preferences where I can set this value because 58% is too small. [Microsoft Word has had a preferences checkbox for larger subscripts/superscripts several years ago after switching to smaller subscripts/superscripts. My current version of Word uses 66% size for sub- and superscripts and does not have such an option in the preferences any more].

Created attachment 77385 [details] Sample Document with screenshot Effect is [Reproducible] with "LibreOffice 3.6.6.1 " German UI/ German Locale [Build-ID: 5b93205] {pull date 2013-03-19} on German WIN7 Home Premium (64bit). Might be related to unchecked / checked "Auto" and probably other reasons, I will have to think about that.
I confirm issue on 4.1.1.2 under Win7 64bit. it's inherited from OOo, affects any LibO release and is still present in AOO as well. as Reiner already noted, the different size problem shows up only when the "Auto" checkbox is flagged. if you unflag it the subscript will have the same size as those added from the toolbar button. as Anastasius pointed out, Writer is not affected by this bug. only Draw and Impress are.
