Problem description: 
As above

Steps to reproduce:
Just import a pptx file

Current behavior:

Expected behavior: I'd heard that Microsoft compatability was to be improved - this certainly seems to be a bew problem area.

              
Operating System: Windows 7
Version: 4.2.1.1 release
Last worked in: 4.1.5.3 release

Comment 3 bugzilla 2014-03-25 11:52:32 UTC 
I have submitted a presentation demonstrating this issue. Also, I found the exact location of the problem in the presentation XML.

To reproduce:
- Open the attached .pptx
- Go to slide 16 (issue also on many other pages)

What I expect to see:
- "Difference between two test scores"

What I see:
- "Difference between twotest scores"

Cause:
In the source file for slide 16 (i.e. /ppt/slides/slide16.xml) we see:
<a:r>
  <a:rPr lang="en-US" dirty="0" smtClean="0"/>
  <a:t>Difference between two </a:t>
</a:r>
<a:r>
  <a:rPr lang="en-US" dirty="0" smtClean="0"/>
  <a:t>test scores </a:t>
</a:r>
It seems that LibreOffice trims the content within the <a:t> tags, losing the space that should have been there.
