Bug 159622

Description nj 2024-02-07 16:03:53 UTC
When the attached file is displayed in PowerPoint (on Windows, using PowerPoint 365 version 2312) the background image is centred, such that the 'sun' part of the image is vertically and horizontally in the centre (at least approximately) of that which one sees. In Impress, the image gets shifted such that it is considerably off-centre. Or rather the shifting happens in presentation mode (accessed via F5) - when the slide is displayed in editing mode, it displays as it should. I can supply details of the monitor (a non-external, laptop monitor), and of my operating system, if necessary.

The problem is a headache for importing (/displaying) PowerPoint files.

I guess you forgot to attach the file. Click "Add an attachment" and upload a sample file for testing. Thanks

Sorry - I don't know what happened there; perhaps, last time, I failed to click the 'submit' button.

This regression is reproduced in:

Version: 7.6.5.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 38d5f62f85355c192ef5f1dd47c5c0c0c6d6598b
CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 6.5; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded

and:

Version: 24.2.0.3 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: da48488a73ddd66ea24cf16bbc4f7b9c08e9bea1
CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 6.5; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3

But not anymore in:

Bibisected the fix to 84055d875ead6d7862cd8ddc5697a280240411fe, so marking as duplicate of bug 156830.

The fix will be available in the soon to be released 24.1.

Thank you!
