OSI introductory slides, which show the bug on several slides

An ODP file created in LibreOffice has white text on a dark background for slide 1. It looks OK in edit mode, but when it's presented full screen the dark fill is missing so the text is invisible too, giving the appearance of a blank slide. I've also seen it happen intermittently on the other slides in the attachment but slide 1 always fails. I've tried the 6.0.0.3 version on documentfoundation.org and the newest Collabora release.

Let's keep this separate, as it's not the same issue as in core: in online, slide background isn't rendered in presentation mode.

Here's a single-slide sample with gradient background.

This is an SVG export filter bug.
Comment 5 Aron Budea 2018-02-17 00:25:44 UTC
Right, unfortunately Draw doesn't import the SVG properly, I had to use Inkscape for that, but can see there that the SVG has no background color.
Comment 6 Gülşah Köse 2019-01-30 19:06:56 UTC
I've tested that bug on
* LibreOffice 6.0.7.3 Build ID: 1:6.0.7-0ubuntu0.18.04.2
* LibreOfficeDev 6.3.0.0.alpha0 1e38d5b976dacd8b42b8330b4b9635a058ffe20b
* Collabora OfficeDev 6.0.10.21 5e87c9f6d6ca5ea46755516c477170d60930f597

and its work for me. Duplicated bug has commits and status "verified fixed". It should be closed. But i don't know which tag should be applied. @Aron can you help?

Oops, the title was left ambiguous, the original issue was raised for online, and online plays slideshows by exporting the presentations to SVG format. This SVG export is what doesn't keep the background, not the actual slideshow (in desktop).

I spent my GSoC 2013 working on the SVG export filter, so I think the relevant code is in svgexport.cxx: SVGFilter::implExportPage (// In case the page has a background object we append it ...), mpObjects for background is populated by SVGFilter::implCreateObjectsFromBackground which is invoked by SVGFilter::implCreateObjects. If I remember correctly the background is exported as an object of the page not of the master page (custom background per slide). That ifdef is there by several years, but it could be worth to check if it is still enabled, before looking for more complicated root causes.

I'm going to attach an old SVG exported slide with the background exported correctly, in case it could be useful for comparison (<g id="bg-id1" class="Background"> is the element that is currently missing)
