Description: Edit a presentation with mainly pictures. Add some text to some pictures with settings Liberation sans size 32 color yellow. I have to repeat these settings each and every time (in one session!) I open a new textbox. This was not necessary in previous versions. Impress remembered during one session the settings I had made in a previous textbox. Steps to Reproduce: 1.Add slides with pictures 2.Add a textbox to a picture as Liberation Sans size 32 color yellow 3.Add a second textbox, the settings have to be restated each and every time. Actual Results: Result OK, but it is annoying and time consuming. Expected Results: Preserve te textbox settings during one session as in version 4 Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: [Information automatically included from LibreOffice] Locale: en-US Module: PresentationDocument [Information guessed from browser] OS: Linux (All) OS is 64bit: yes User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:52.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/52.0
reproduced with 4.1 and 6.1. In which version it worked as you wrote?
As far as I remember it was on one of the later 4.x versions. The one which was current in the repository of Mageia 5 in januari 2016. 4.5 it might have been.
Doesn't look like a regression: I can already reproduce in 3.6.7. I do step 2 simply by starting to type when the image is selected. I also tried by simply inserting new text boxes with F2. Let's ask the design team, if text formatting should be remembered when inserting new shapes, images and text boxes.

You can use a graphic style for that purpose. There is no way to "remember" font settings other then changing a style. The graphic style "Default" has the setting 18pt. If you enter an image it gets the style "Object with no fill and no line" which inherits the font size from the style "Default". So you can change the font size in "Default", which would affect all shapes. Or set the font size in "Object with no fill and no line", which would affect only few other, likely not used shape types. Or make a new style only for your images and assign it to each image.
Regina is right and it seems my brain was too sleepy... Let's close.
