Steps: 1) Start impress 2) Switch to master slide mode 3) Set text color and bullet color of title and content textboxes to red 4) Close master slide mode 5) Notice that non-title textbox isnt red 6) Change slide layout to 'Title, Content' and notice it is now red 7) Switch to 'Centered Text' slide layout and notice that it isnt red Not sure if this how it was meant to be, but this seems strange to me.

(Removing UX keyword since it's an ordinary bug)
hmm... I don't understand the problem. attachment 127447 [details] behaves as I would expect: red text in title text box and green in other text boxes from page layouts .. ?

Ah :) then select the frame, right click and choose Edit style, and notice the dialog says "Subtitle". So it's just another style that is used there. OK?
Looks like the concept of master slide interferes with the styles concept. I'm fine with NAB, but how about killing the styles from Impress?
Having the placeholder presentation objects on the master slide in addition to the style&formatting dialog is first time confusing. But that is not a reason to drop the styles. Do not kill styles from Impress.
Well i guess my issue boils down to a user being able to modify all the various placeholder textboxes and their styles interactively in master slide mode except for subtitle, where they would have to use the styles sidebar in order to modify it. We have the 'object area for autolayouts' placeholder textbox which occupies the same space used by the subtitle textbox in Title Slide layout, but the textbox doesnt have a first line with text like 'Click to edit the subtitle text format', so a user could get easy access to modifying it. Not having an easily accessible interactive means of modifying the subtitle in master slide mode is bad UX and something the average user wont discover as the only means to modify it is in a dialog. So i guess we can reopen this bug to address this issue, or we can start up a new bug about it.

(In reply to Yousuf Philips (jay) from comment #8) * Master provides access to subtitles next to the auto-layouts Alternative solutions, except of killing styles: * Master is not used to deal with styles, i.e. no font color * Master is/can be defined per slide layout (Slide design is actually a dialog to access templates per Load...); Microsoft Powerpoint works like this * Styles dialog gets an overhaul and it becomes clear what style can be changed * Workaround: Sidebar shows Styles and Formatting > Presentation Styles in master edit mode with a WYSIWYG preview; the subtitle is part of this list Presentation styles cannot be applied to the selection, meaning I cannot switch a subtitle into a title. That's confusing since Graphic Styles, which are applied to text boxes and have the same look and feel as auto-layouts, work as expected. When we rename this style to Master Style it would be more clear (or we drop one of the styles *g*).
(In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #10) > * Master provides access to subtitles next to the auto-layouts Tried to think of a plausible way this could be done, but couldnt come up with one, so look forward to seeing your mockup. > Alternative solutions, except of killing styles: > * Master is not used to deal with styles, i.e. no font color The good thing about master slide mode is that users are modifying the underlying styles like they normally modify direct formatting. > * Master is/can be defined per slide layout (Slide design is actually a > dialog to access templates per Load...); Microsoft Powerpoint works like this Doubt it would be easy to change to powerpoint's concept of master slides and their child layouts, but it would be nice to assign a default layout to a master slide. We currently have 3 main layout types - Title+Subtitle, Title+Content, Subtitle > * Styles dialog gets an overhaul and it becomes clear what style can be > changed Would have to hear more about the idea to get what you mean. > * Workaround: Sidebar shows Styles and Formatting > Presentation Styles in > master edit mode with a WYSIWYG preview; the subtitle is part of this list Should likely be renamed Master Slide Element Styles for better clarity as i always assumed it was a global style for the entire presentation, as thats how paragraph and cell styles are, but actually they are per master slide styles. > Presentation styles cannot be applied to the selection, meaning I cannot > switch a subtitle into a title.
