Description l.l+libreofficebugs 2018-06-21 13:54:21 UTC
Description:
A change of height of "Object Area for AutoLayout" is either not saved or not restored when closing and reopening a document

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open LO Impress with new presentation.
2. Go to master slide.
3. Change height of "Object Area for Autolayout".
4. Close master slide.
5. Save document.
6. Close Libreoffice.
7. Reopen document.
8. Check height of "Object Area for Autolayout" on master slide.


Actual Results:
The "Object Area for Autolayout" has the standard height.

Expected Results:
The changed height of "Object Area for Autolayout" is saved and restored when changed.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
Tested with
System: Kubuntu 16.04

LO versions:
- 5.1.6.2 (Build-ID: 1:5.1.6~rc2-0ubuntu1~xenial3)
- 6.0.4 (1:6.0.4~rc2-0ubuntu0.16.04.1; from fresh ppa)

Additional comments:
I thought to remember that there existed a bug for LO versions 4 + 5, but I could not find it. I cannot remember whether it was said to be fixed in Version 5 or 6.
However I just tested version 6.0.4 from "fresh" ppa on Kubuntu 16.04 and the bug still persists.
Comment 1 l.l+libreofficebugs 2018-06-23 09:51:00 UTC
Have to correct the bug report or make it more precise:

Bug affects only odp-Projects not created with the newest LO version.


Following does not work:
- Create a Impress document by right click menu in file manager.
- Open document with LO.
- Change height of AutoLayout.
- Save and close LO.
- Reopen Document.
- Height of AutoLayout is not restored.

When importing an older odp-document, the bug occurs.

However following works:
- Start LO.
- Create a new document.
- Change AutoLayout height.
- Save Document.
- Close LO and reopen document.
- Height of AutoLayout is restored.

By the way, this is indeed a rather old Bug!

I also thought there was an old launchpad bug for this, however I could not find it (even though I thought I had bookmarked it).

Not reproduced on master. Can you try with 6.1 or daily (6.2)? Easy way: https://libreoffice.soluzioniopen.com/

That was Bug 46881

Set to NEEDINFO.
Change back to UNCONFIRMED, if the problem persists. Change to RESOLVED WORKSFORME, if the problem went away.

Created attachment 143641 [details]
Document created by right click in Kubuntu 16.04

The attached document was created by right-click-create-new-impress with Kubuntu 16.04.
Checked with LibreOfficeDev-daily-x86_64 from 2018-07-19 and the bug persists.

To make clear, I repeat:

Does work:
Create new document with/inside LO and change height of AutoLayout etc.

Does not work:
Take older odp or right-click-created odp and change height of AutoLayout etc.

Will (try to) change back to UNCONFIRMED.

Dear l.l+libreofficebugs,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword


Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa

Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!

Warm Regards,
QA Team
