Description Gjalt-Jorn Peters 2017-08-11 09:39:50 UTC
Description:
For some reason, the presentation on the main presentation screen is in very low quality. On the other screen (i.e. the one showing the preview), display is fine. This is the case in multiple presentations - but seems to be inconsistent. Some images seem to display well, but some don't. Fonts are always rendered in low quality/resolution.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open one of the two attached presentations in LibreOffice Impress on Win10
2. Start the presentation

Actual Results:  
Low-resolution rendering.

Expected Results:
High-resolution rendering.


Reproducible: Sometimes

User Profile Reset: No

Additional Info:
Not sure whether this is normal or major. For me it's prohibitive - but it might have something to do with my hardware (seems unlikely and definitely undesirable, but one never knows)?

Third screenshot: other presentation (.pptx), slide showing distortion of background .jpg and font

Note how the font at the top ("6th methods in health psychology symposium), which is a .png, is NOT distorted, while the .jpg background has become lo-res and distorted, and the slide title (Merriweather font) is also rendered lo-res.

Shift to OpenGL view mode. Or if OpenGL is not supported, disable "Use hardware acceleration" from Tools -> Options -> View panel and restart.  It will limit some of the slide transitions you can use--but will be full resolution of the presentation.

Sorry, I apparently missed that when I was looking for this! It does work, thank you!
