Description thomas.engels 2019-12-14 13:27:52 UTC
Description:
When editing a presentation, all is well, and I can embed videos and place them where I like, inlcuding scaling. 
When starting the presentation, the video gets resized and displaced, and at the location where the video is supposed to be, a black surface appears.
This seems to be related to 4k resolution and display scaling to 200%: if I reduce the screen resolution, it is fixed.
I use fedora 30 on gnome 3.32.2.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. On 4k display, create a presentation with a video embedded
2. Start presentation mode, observe video displaced and resized

Actual Results:
Video is resized and displaced

Expected Results:
Video appears where shown in the editor


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes



Additional Info:
This is a moderately severe bug: it is not cosmetics, though, since displaced videos are a major embarrassment for presenters.

Note: on linux, the OpenGL option is not exposed in the options dialog.

6.2.8 is last LO version from 6.2 branch.
For the test, could you give a try to 6.3.4?

Also you can try a different rendering, for example try this on a console:
export sal_use_vclplugin=gen && soffice --impress

I don't have hi-res to test but please see https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40534 and try 6.3.4 as advised.
Comment 3 thomas.engels 2020-01-11 19:07:44 UTC
it took a moment, because the flatpack / snap versions of LO did not play videos at all, but I now installed the latest version from RPMs (6.3.4.2)

the problem is persistent to version 6.3.4.2 !
Comment 4 Julien Nabet 2020-01-11 21:19:01 UTC
Could you also try the second part of my previous comment:
export sal_use_vclplugin=gen && soffice --impress
?
Comment 5 thomas.engels 2020-01-11 22:02:46 UTC
I did run:

export sal_use_vclplugin=gen && libreoffice6.3 --impress
 
(because soffice points to 6.2.8 still)...no change!
Comment 6 Julien Nabet 2020-01-11 22:20:05 UTC
Thank you for your feedback.
Since I don't have more questions, I put back to UNCONFIRMED.

Hi,

I am also experiencing the same problem.

I started LO with

sal_use_vclplugin=gen && libreoffice7.2 --impress

I'm on debian Bullseye x64 with the debs from libreoffice.org. I have a screen solution of 2550x1440 and a scaling factor of 1.4.

Dear thomas.engels,

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
