Sample slide (PPTX)

If we view the sample documentation in edit mode, the actual slide
background is not visible.

In presentation mode - in Impress, not so in PowerPoint, there are
three places where it comes through.

Version: 7.6.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 5b3fd1af1247d4096451e5a768c3438fbccec2b2
CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 6.0; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); UI: en-US

(and back to 6.4 at least)


Disclaimer: I am not arguing this is a well designed slide. It still
renders differently in Impress than it does in PowerPoint.

I cannot reproduce with

(The gradient of the black rectangles is not showing in presentation mode, but that is irrelevant to this ticket.)
Comment 3 Faisal 2023-01-29 15:28:06 UTC
The background is shown on the right border of the slide because the right-most black rectangle is not touching the right border of the side. That is the result of the rectangle's position and not because of a bug

Screenshot in presentation mode - LibreOffice 7.2

At first I thought this might be related to me using an HiDPI display,
alas I see the same artefacts with a 1920 x 1080 resolution as well.

And note how 7.2 does not have the white area in the upper right corner yet.

Note my report and tests were done on Linux, so this may be why we are
getting different results?

Interestingly, if you open the screenshots I provide - from 7.2, 7.4,
7.5, and 7.6 - they all look slightly differently which is visible when
quickly flipping from one to the next.
Comment 8 Buovjaga 2023-03-22 13:40:14 UTC
I do see it on Windows as well.

Tested on Linux with old versions and this is already in 3.5. It is even seen in edit mode in the old versions. Changing zoom can also make it visible.

Dear Gerald Pfeifer,

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!

Warm Regards,
QA Team
