Started new presentation with IMPRESS. I made changes in MASTER VIEW to change line spacing and formatting indentation and bullet width using Bullets & Numbering. I got two slides done and then had to save my MASTER VIEW and my work, close IMPRESS and reboot due to Ubuntu 18.04 software update. When I opened IMPRESS and started working on my presentation, I found that all the changes I had made to MASTER VIEW were lost and that the default MASTER VIEW had come in and changed my presentation.
No repo: Version: 6.0.6.2 Build ID: 1:6.0.6-0ubuntu0.18.04.1 CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 4.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3; 2 different tests, master slide changes to spacing and bullet changes were saved.
Please note that spacing and bullet changes were not saved. Essentially, the default master view took over.

Thank you for reporting the bug. To be certain the reported issue is not related to corruption in the user profile, could you please reset your Libreoffice profile ( https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile ) and re-test? I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' if the issue is still present
I was again able to duplicate this problem with Version: 6.1.2.1 Build ID: 1:6.1.2-0ubuntu1. I setup a master view and saved it as Test presentation.odp. I closed master view expecting to see my first slide ready to add text to it. However, clicking on Click to add text does not put the cursor in top left hand corner of text pane, ready to add text following a bullet. It puts the cursor in the center of the text pane. Moreover, if I close out of impress and do a file new, I get what I believe to be the default master view. There is a problem with the version of Impress that comes with Ubuntu 18.10. When I go to add the odp file as an attachment, it takes me to a new page, and I lose this text. Please tell me how to add or send you the problem presentation. John

John, Without a test file and/or clear step-by-step instructions to reproduce this bug, we cannot confirm it. After you provide the exact method to reproduce it, we will re-open this report to confirm the problem.
This problem is far from resolved. Impress will not save master view if program is closed and PC is rebooted. For example, if I change opening master view to use Calibri font instead of Arial and/or I change the indents or other aspects of a typical outline-type presentation slide, they are not saved. When I go make another presentation, I get the original Impress master view. Apparently, those who are in charge of Impress think that their choices or fonts and other aspects are the ones to use. If you want details, please tell me how I should send you the slide copy or other data you need,
John, We need a numbered list that details each button press, or menu selection to reproduce this bug. If you need to attach a file, you can go here: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/attachment.cgi?bugid=120666&action=enter
