Description: Text fields in PPT and PPTX files have zero width in Impress. This bug is a regression to Impress 5.2.x. It affects PPT and also PPTX files. This bug makes Impress more ore less unusable and I had therefore downgrade to Impress 5.2.x for daily work. Steps to Reproduce: Open a PPT or PPTX file of your choice that has a text field. I also attached a very simple one-slide example PPT file. Actual Results: The text fields have zero width. Therefore all letters of the field are placed upon each other, see the attached screenshot. Expected Results: Well, readable text of course. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:52.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/52.0

Could you please try to reset your Libreoffice profile ( https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile ) and re-test? I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' if the issue is still present
(In reply to Xisco Faulí from comment #4) > Could you please try to reset your Libreoffice profile ( > https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile ) and re-test? Dear Xisco, many thanks for your help. I reset the userprofile but it did not help. I therefore used the radical way: I uninstalled LibreOffice _completely_. Afterwards I run CCleaner and also searched the registry manually. I had nothing left from LibreOffice. Then I restarted the PC and reinstalled LibreOffice 5.3.1RC1 (64bit). But even then the problem persist. Restarting LibreOffice in safe mode also doesn't change anything. I am still lost. Can't you reproduce the bug when doing the same?: uninstall LibreOffice completely and then reinstall it using the 64bit installer of 5.3.1RC1? thanks and regards muso
Today LO 5.3.1.2 was released. i tried this version. I even also deleted Windows' font cache before reinstalling LibreOffice. The problem persists: ALL (sic!) ODP and PPT documents I have ever created with LibreOffice have now the unreadable text boxes. I note that when I click into a text box and decrease the font size, the text becomes smaller. But when i click onto the just changed text i see that the size have not changed in the settings: I changed text in size 28 to 14. But in the settings I still see 28 afterwards although that the text appears now smaller in LO. Any help is highly appreciated!
This bug makes me crazy but I now found a workaround: - open my test file - save it as *.odp - close the file and reopen the just created ODP result: the problem persists But now do this: - open my test file - save it as *.pptx - close the file and reopen the just created PPTX result: now everything looks fine. It is so wierd that I will have now to open my ODP files I once created with LO 5.x and save them as PPTX to fix them.
I attached now the fixed PPT file that I created this way: - opened my attached test file - saved it as PPTX - closed the file and then opened the created PPTX - saved it as PPT I hope that when you diff my test file and the fixed version you find the problem.

Reproduced with 5.3.1.2 / Windows 7 with OpenGL rendering enabled, but not with default rendering. Also not reproduced with the old layout engine ("set SAL_NO_COMMON_LAYOUT=1" in command line before launching LO). Muso, until the bug is fixed, a simpler workaround is to disable OpenGL by unchecking "Use OpenGL for all rendering" in Tools -> Options...; LibreOffice -> View. The latest 5.4 master build I had was from the end of February, the bug was still in it, but might've been fixed since...
Oh, found a duplicate report. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 103831 ***
