Description jonnjones 2012-04-08 08:35:19 UTC

The problem occurs after copying and pasting a chart from a .ods document into a presentation, and then saving the presentation as a Ms Powerpoint 97/2000/XP/2003 (.ppt). When reopening the .ppt, 3D charts show up with a unalterable black background in the graphical areas. This was seen in pie charts with a 3D Realistic Look and in 3D bar graphs. 2D charts seem to be unaffected.

Obviously, this is only an issue when forced to use Ms formats, which is sadly too often the case.

Could you attach any example documents to allow others to check on different
system/build?

Added (zip, for windose users?), including screenshots of what I see.

I even reproduced it on my laptop, which runs something a bit different than Slackware (Salix-Slackware monstrosity). All that needs to be done is produce a chart on a presentation, then save it as .odp , then save it again as .ppt , close LibreOffice, then open the .ppt with LibreOffice.

Confirmed with:
LO 3.5.6.2 
Build ID: own W7 debug build
Windows 7 Professional SP1 64 bit

Black background visible in LO when saved as .ppt file opened.

I retested this in LibreOffice 4.3.2.2 (Win 7)  and I didn't see the black chart, so I guess this is fixed? Can anyone confirm this?

Comment 6 Xisco Faulí 2015-08-19 15:28:02 UTC

In addition to comment 5, I can't reproduce it in

Version: 5.0.0.5
Build ID: 1b1a90865e348b492231e1c451437d7a15bb262b
Locale: es-ES (es_ES)

on Windows 7 (64-bit)

Thus, I close it as RESOLVED WORKSFORME
