Description: When two shapes are combined (e.g. join, subtract, combin) the resulting shape has line style 'none' and line width '0,0 pt'. If the shape's color matches the background, it is invisible. Also, its properties cannot be changed directly. When the shape is created, it is automatically selected. However, its attribues are not shown in the properties section so they cannot be changed. For changing them the shape must be deselected and selected again. Note that actions combine, split, join and break pose no problem. Steps to Reproduce: 1. create a first shape (e.g. flat rectangle) 2. create second shape (e.g. vertical rectangle) 3. align first and second shapes so that they overlap 4. select both shapes and select shape->subtract from the context menu Actual Results: The resulting shape has invisible lines. The properties pane shows the slide's properties instead of the shape's properties. Expected Results: The resulting shape has the same line properties as the first or second shape.

I can't confirm on Linux, might be mac-specific. LibreOffice 7.2 will not see any new release, could you please test a supported version? (7.3 or 7.4)

Seems to have to do with manually set line widths. The resulting shape is often OK if the border width of the two shapes is left untouched. Should it be set (to any width) the resulting shape loses its border.
Right, I can reproduce now, with the following steps: 1) Create a rectangle 2) Right-click > Line > Line tab; see that the default is continuous style and width of 0. 3) Change width to something higher, e.g. 0.10 cm 4) Repeat steps 1 to 3 with another rectangle that partly overlaps the first one (or duplicate the first one) 5) Select both rectangles, e.g. with Shift + click 6) Shape > Subtract 7) Right-click on resulting shape, see Line properties Actual result: Line style has been reset to none; Line width has been reset to 0. The line style change does not happen if the line width has not been changed. Expected result: When line properties are the same, resulting subtracted shape needs to keep those properties.
