Aspose.Words: Seperator char in formula locks bad after converting to PDF

We have an application, which creates PDF files out of text-Files.
For math formula we are using MathML and converting this to MathOfficeML use DocumentFormat.OpenXML to create a word document.

After we have a word document, we converting it to PDF.

But since Aspose.Words version 20.8.0 the Brackets with Seperator are looking bad.

In our created word files they are looking good, but in the converted pdf file the are looking bad.

Our word looks like this:
image.png (6,3 KB)

The created pdf files looks like this:
image.png (3,3 KB)

I have written a test method to easily create the PDF file:

        [TestMethod]
        [DeploymentItem("Formula2.docx")]
        public void TryFormulaToPdfTest()
        {
            var docxBytes = File.ReadAllBytes("Formula2.docx");

            Document document;
            using (var docxStream = new MemoryStream(docxBytes))
            {
                document = new Document(docxStream, new LoadOptions { LoadFormat = LoadFormat.Auto });
            }

            using (var pdfStream = new MemoryStream())
            {
                var saveOptions = new PdfSaveOptions
                {
                    PreserveFormFields = true,
                    SaveFormat = SaveFormat.Pdf,
                    EmbedFullFonts = true
                };
                document.Save(pdfStream, saveOptions);
                File.WriteAllBytes("Result.pdf", pdfStream.ToArray());
            }
        }

The content of the word document is this:

This means that the sepChr has not been converted correctly to pdf. Or the scaling is not correct.

I have tried Aspose.Word up to version 24.9.0, but so far the problem is there.

Thanks for helping.
