Description: Importing a PPTX where some large text has font size 28, appears very small, and indicates font size 9.6. Surprisingly, If I manually change the size to 28 with the drop-down list, it still appears small and the size indicated is 8.6! Changing it to 40, the final font size indicated is 11.6. I will attach a file showing this. Steps to Reproduce: Steps described in the description above. Actual Results: Results described in the description above. Expected Results: The same or very similar rendering to that of Power Point. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: -

Created attachment 166561 [details] Sample saved as PPT in PowerPoint Curiously the same content looks fine if it's in PPT format (saved in PowerPoint).
This is an autoresize textbox. Also it contains an empty paragraph before the Main title and two after it. PP seems to ignore more than 1 empty paragraphs (in this particular case at least) when calculating font size, while Impress considers all of them equally. PP: No empty para = 31 pt; 1 or more empty para = 28 pt font. Impress: No empty para = 31 pt; 1 empty para = 18.8 pt; 2 empty para = 12.6 pt; 3 empty para = 9.6 pt font.
Dear Alvaro Segura, 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 Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!

The bug is still present in LO 7.4.5 However, as someone commented (comment 6), there are 1 empty paragraph before the text and 2 after. If I delete those then the text size appears correct. As they said, seems PPT ignore those. In fact the box has the "compress overflow text" option but it is not applied (in my old PPT version). Version: 7.4.5.1 (x64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 9c0871452b3918c1019dde9bfac75448afc4b57f CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19045; UI render: Skia/Vulkan; VCL: win Locale: es-ES (es_ES); UI: es-ES Calc: threaded
This example has Title type placeholders with "Shrink text on overflow" set. This makes the "Main title" text in PP resize from 31 pt to 28, or 10%. Impress on the other hand reduces font size as much as needed, including the several empty paragraphs. I think this is the same core issue as in bug 122023. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 122023 ***
