Description birdinspace 2020-03-31 07:52:55 UTC
Description:
When writing in a slide title some characters don't show. When I present the slide show (F5) they are there. It only seem to affect certain letters, like uppercase W for instance.
(I always set my master slide to almost completely black. Not sure if this has anything to do with it)

For example:
I write "Welcome to lesson 3"
What I see when I'm done is "elcome to lesson 3"
But when I'm in presenting mode it says "Welcome to lesson 3" correctly. So it's only visible while I edit the slide.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a new slide
2. Write something with uppercase W in the title.

Actual Results:
W disappears from the sentence even though it's there. It's basically like it's invisible.

Expected Results:
W should be there in edit mode since I typed it and it can be viewed when presenting the slide.


Reproducible: Always

While writing and editing the uppercase W in welcome disappears. Might be true for other letters too, but at least W is an issue for some reason.

The letter W is visible when presenting the odp

As can be seen here, when I go to presentation mode W is visible.

Could be about dark theme. Please try and report:
1. to change font color from Automatic in dark theme
2. to change Tools-Options-App colors-Background
3. some light theme 
4. Format - Clear Direct Formatting.
