Description: Updating issue when exporting impress slides to JPG format. An object on the slide needs focus to update slide to export or else it will export previously worked on state of slide. Work around. When I update text I have to click on the text object on the slide or else I get a blank slide or previous state slide. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Just open impress and type something 2. Go to export menu command 3. Export as JPG and get a blank slide instead of text typed in. Actual Results: blank or not updated slide Expected Results: Not correct information on slide Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: I can export them correctly an as desired by clicking on object before export command. It updates in slide panel when focused on. User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux i686; rv:51.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/51.0
Hello Roy, it seems you're using an old version of LibreOffice. Could you please try to reproduce it with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/ ? I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' if the bug is still present in the latest version.
I confirm the bug however I am confused. The description provided is up to the mark and accurate. If the textbox is still in-focus and export for JPG is done, the changes would not appear in the exported JPG. I would like to take up this bug and solve it as my first contribution to LibreOffice.
Just a note: I don't understand why Impress even has such an "export to JPEG" functionality. JPEG is very unsuitable for Impress slides, by definition. (The 'P' stands for 'Photography'. Slides consist of text and line art.)

the problem can be reproduced already with OOo 3.3 it affects not only export to JPEG but also PNG and probably others thanks to Umang Jain for the fix!
