The presentation with the two slides having dark background color

Hi !

When using View → User interface → Tabbed, create a two slides presentation.

Set dark color as background color in the master slide (better shown this way).

Now :

- select grayscale (→ the slide shows black text on white background)
- select second slide (→ the second slide is shown with black text on white background but it's the "Color" button that is selected in the menu bar)
- you now can't change to Color, Grayscale or Black and White no more !

The only way to get back the expected behaviour is to go to View → Notes and go back to View → Normal.

change on the second page the font color of the header and you get the same issue in standard toolbar layout. 

I think it's more of an general grayscale issue.

Hi zigazou,

I tried to reproduce the bug using the following steps:

1. Go to View -> User interface -> enable "Tabbed" UI.
2. Create a new, empty presentation. Duplicate the first slide. Enter "First slide" as title for the first slide and "Second slide" for the title of the second slide.
3. Save the presentation.
4. Go to View -> Master Slide. Right-click on the margin of the master slide and choose "Slide properties" to set a dark background colour for the presentation.
5. Without leaving the Master Slide view, go to View and click "Greyscale". 
6. Go back to the Normal view; the first slide has black text (default colour) on a white background. The same applies to the second slide. At the same time, the slide panel on the left still displays the dark background for both slides.
7. Go to View and click "Greyscale"; this has no effect.

It was not entirely clear to me whether, after step 4, I should go back to the normal view or stay on the Master Slide view, since only one slide is shown in the Master Slide view.

If my representation of the steps does not match what you intended, can you please clarify?

Dear zigazou,

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
