I'm nearly sure there must two different CSS methods for indent of first line.
I didn't use to have the problem. It's happened either since a Kobo update, a LibreOffice update or a Calibre update
eReader: Kobo Aura H2O (original).
Conversion: Calibre (up to date)
Source: ODT format from LibreOffice writer (from distro)
OS: Linux Mint 18.3 with Mate Desktop and TraditionalOK theme
Basically if I use original document paragraph in Calibre Conversion, I get an indent half of what it should be on the Kobo. The indent is correct on ancient Binatone ReadMe Daily (if the ePub is in the Digital Editions folder). The indent is correct on Calibre's own PC eReader using ePub. The indent is correct converted to Mobi on Kindle DXG and correct on
If I use "remove blank lines" and forced 1.5em I get the "correct indent" on the Kobo, same as on the Binatone & Calibre eReader, the sort of size I used to get. If I double the Point size of Indent in LibreOffice Writer, then the indent is correct on the Kobo, but x2 on everything else (approximately).
If I convert a mobi or AZW file from Amazon, Smashwords or Gutenberg, or use an ePub from Smashwords or Gutenberg, the indent seems sensible.
Obviously Calibre has two different ways of setting the indent, one of which is used for Wordprocessor source. Something has changed in either the Kobo, Calibre or LibreOffice. Since exact ePub with wrong Indent on Kobo is OK on the Binatone Readme and the Calibre eReader, I suspect a Kobo update.
I've had a number of updates, now on 4.7.10413 (I avoided the 4.8 after reading thread here).
Any ideas how to fix this or get round it other than forcing the 1.5em indent which can cause issues for text with a deliberately different indent to main body?

Could you create a short epub with the problem and attach it to a message here. It makes troubleshooting much easier when you can look at the book code.
I haven't seen that issue with a Kobo update though I send sideloaded books to my Kobo as epubs so I am not sure if this issue would show with kepubs.
