Created attachment 127011 [details]
An example of a file saved after the image background turned blue.

When I use a slide template with an image as a background, and then copy and paste between two different presentations, the background turns to solid blue on both of the files (both the one I'm copying from, and the one I'm pasting into). If I go into the master slide and try to re-apply the slide design, it too shows as blue. If I save, the slides will be blue the next time I re-open them. If I don't save, the files open with the correct background.

The attached file shows a slide saved after the background image turned blue. If you need a version with the normal slide background I can provide that too.

I confirm that the bug affects also my installation (same version 5.1.4.2). The problem can be reproduced in a new document just by copying a slide after having set the background image of the master slide.

It doesn't affect the background defined for an individual slide.
Comment 2 Buovjaga 2016-09-23 19:15:12 UTC
When I tried to repro from scratch, it turned blue in the source document, but not in the target.

Doesn't happen in v. 3.6.

I suspect this is the same problem as fixed (on 5-1 in last 24 hours) as https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?h=libreoffice-5-1&id=19c191a0a92b6ae9ca86aa4ee7afb887fd42a209 if someone can double check this in a 5-1 build after that change

I noticed this strange behavior myself in my current Linux Mint LMDE version of LibreOffice (5.1.0.3), so I tried upgrading to a Jessie backport (5.1.5.2) but this had the same problem.  So I tried the newest version I could find (5.2.2.2) and the problem was there as well.  

Are there some experimental fixed debs that I can try?

This 32-bit build is from a date that should surely have it: http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/libreoffice-5-1/Linux-rpm_deb-x86@71-TDF/current/

Thanks for this!  I started to install these DEBs, but found out that they are i386-based (?) instead of amd64, so I have a whole bunch of missing libraries.  Unless there are some amd64 ones around, I might have to wait for the fix to show up in the official places.  Advice?

Actually, I added all the extra stuff (sufficiently to start Impress), and unfortunately found that the bug exists in that version as well :(
Comment 8 Buovjaga 2016-09-30 18:17:57 UTC
Yep I can still repro in 5.3

Again, for testers: you have to use the master slide to set the background image and then copy slide in the normal view.

Comment 13 darethehair@gmail.com 2016-10-05 19:26:05 UTC
Yes, I downloaded and installed "2016-10-05_06.58.49/ 05-Oct-2016 10:01" and a very brief test seems to show that the bug of losing the master slide background image during a 'copy' operation is now *fixed*.  

Thanks for doing this -- I can now return to my standard 'easier' way of editing my Impress presentations! :)

I await for others to confirm my findings...
Comment 14 Caolán McNamara 2016-10-05 19:50:50 UTC
reverted the suspect code for 5-1 and 5-2, so should be back to normal. And trying something a little different for 5-3
Comment 15 Buovjaga 2016-11-25 13:35:35 UTC
Nothing is turning blue anymore anywhere.
