ODP file showing the same problem
Comment 3 Tamás Zolnai 2016-12-17 20:00:22 UTC
It's not actually a regression. At least not a regression caused by my commit. I attached an ODP file which has the same problem if you try to export it to PDF.
It seems PDF export can't handle a placeholder shape which has no text and so placeholder text is shown in it.

I created the test document with opening a new presentation, removing the lower shape and setting a line color to the upper shape.

Since not the marked commit is the problem here, would be good to run a new bibisect using the ODP test document.
Comment 4 Tamás Zolnai 2016-12-17 20:11:11 UTC
One more thing, about why bibisect found this commmit. It's because, before this commit, placeholder text was not set during import for empty title shape. It's seems PDF export has a problem with the placeholder text. Otherwise it works when the shape is entirely empty or when the shape has some texts specified.

Hi Tamás,
Thanks you for analysing the problem. Indeed, it's been like that since a long time and it's not a regression. Updating the information...

Dear Xisco Faulí,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword


Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa

Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!

Warm Regards,
QA Team
