Description:
The major feature of persistence across save-close-open cycles is lost.

The issue becomes evident when I open a saved file again. The issue is that some features of the slide objects are lost. These features are not lost when the file is saved while the document is open.

The features in point are some settings of and operations carried out on various objects on the slides, namely:
1) font size: in a window containing text with different sizes, all text gets a single size;
2) font colour: in a window containing paragraphs in different colours, the colour in one paragraph is changed into the colour of the preceding paragraph;
3) character expansion: in a few lines where the text has been expanded, the text comes back to default spacing; 
4) area fill in transparent images: in two images with transparent background that an area fill has been added on, the area fill disappears in both images.
5) added images: in a slide where some 5 images have been added, one of these images disappears.

The issues 1 and 2 occur in all slides where the same format pattern occurs. 
The issues 3 and 4 occurred in the single slide where the settings and operation have been applied. 

Issue 1 and 2 occurred once only and not yet again.
Issues 3 has been put to the test only once.
Issue 4 and 5 occurred twice in a row. 


  

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Perform any of the operation described in the frame 'Description', possibly
2. Save and close.
3. Reopen and observe whether all desired features are maintained.

Actual Results:  
Described in the Description frame.

Expected Results:
The added images, settings and operations should be persistent at all times after I close a file.


Reproducible: Sometimes

User Profile Reset: No

Additional Info:

No bug is a joy, but this one is somewhat annoying because it undoes many fine-tuning features that have been undertaken to enrich the visual impact and that are relatively labour-intensive. Hence a good deal of fastidious work and anticipation is lost.

Even if the issue occurs once and never again, the user gets inclined not to apply those fragile features any longer and perhaps to think of more robust tools to achieve the same effect. 

Therefore, the potential to undermine the loyalty of advanced users is great.
