On LO Debian package 6.3.4, I don't reproduce this.

Could you give a try to 6.3.4?
Comment 2 V Stuart Foote 2019-12-16 14:30:33 UTC
Also, what format is the presentation being saved in? 

Round trip through OOXML (.pptx), or save/open in native ODF (.odp)--different filter handling for the two formats.

ppt  or pptx  :   same issue

6.3.4 is not an unstable version.
Even if we can reproduce this with 6.2.8, it won't help since 6.2 is EOL.
Of course, don't forget to make backups before testing.

Also do you reproduce this with a brand new file containing just one sentence?

Hello    

On the download page of LO i always use the version stated as "tested for longer".
because my documents are critical and represent much work. 

Whatever your test was the right one, and so anybody will be able to test the issue on every version :     ;)
Creating  a brand new file with impress :

 one sentence  ,  highligthing it in yellow fluorescent :

If you 
save in ODG : highlighting is kept

In PPT Or PPTX :   highlighting is lost 

Regards

On Windows 10 Home 64-bit en-US with
Version: 6.3.4.2 (x64)
Build ID: 60da17e045e08f1793c57c00ba83cdfce946d0aa
CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0; UI render: GL; VCL: win;

Confirmed there is something not quite right with export save from Impress via PPT filter (PowerPoint 97-2003)--and also affects round trip import into LO.

Believe that as with MS binary--.DOC--and OOXML Word--.DOCX--text formats--text shading and highlighting get different handling in MS binary--.PPT--and OOXML--.PPTX--formats.

So the saves from Impress as .PPTX do seem to honor a highlighting setting to a Draw text box filter saved from Impress. 

But not so sure about the MS binary .PPT format. Highlight applied to text of 'Draw text boxes' in Impress drop any highlight color value applied when filter export to PPT. With defaults, but changing Tools -> Options -> Microsoft Office -> 'Character Highlighting' value does not seem to have affect on either MS filter format for a presentation.

Work on bug 64490 provided framework for paragraph/character handling--do Draw text boxes (for Imgress and Draw) need similar handling for highlighting?

@Tamás?

This is a duplicate. 
Reading bug #96061 it seems only recent versions of PowerPoint started to support this feature.
