By default, in a new presentation, on the first slide and with no slide element selected, the select Presentation Style (which isn't a presentation style, see bug 154492) is "Background". Regardless of whether that is an appropriate situation or not - if one modifies this default style, a window opens with no content displayed except for 4 buttons: Help, Reset, Cancel, Ok. If one tries to enlarge the window - its main area is empty.
Version: 7.5.1.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: fcbaee479e84c6cd81291587d2ee68cba099e129 CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 6.1; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: en-IL (en_IL); UI: en-US
When I start a new presentation without a template the first slide has a title and a content. The background is set to "None" aka no color. Sounds correct to me. What do you expect?
Created attachment 186352 [details] Impress window with the empty modification dialog Illustration of the problem: Note the empty dialog with only buttons and no controls for actually modifying the style.

Sounds > correct to me. It is correct, but it's just not what this bug report is about, please re-read. I've even added a screenshot to emphasize.
(In reply to Eyal Rozenberg from comment #3) > Created attachment 186352 [details] > Impress window with the empty modification dialog Caolan, this is a gtk issue. With kf5/qt6 I get the usual dialog (with a lot of white space but still sized according the needed space), starting with gtk3/gtk4 I run into an assertion soffice.bin: /home/ht/Sources/libreoffice/vcl/unx/gtk3/gtkinst.cxx:8910: int (anonymous namespace)::GtkInstanceNotebook::remove_page(GtkNotebook *, std::string_view): Assertion `nPageNumber != -1 && "asked to remove page that doesn't exist"' failed. (and Eyal gets a minimized window with the official fresh version)
(In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #5) > (and Eyal gets a minimized window with the official fresh version) It's not just minimized; if I enlarge it there's still nothing in there.
is this sidebar, presentation styles, right click on background, edit style? If so I'm not seeing what is shown in the screenshot

(In reply to Caolán McNamara from comment #7) > is this sidebar, presentation styles, right click on background, edit style? The context menu item is "Modify...", but yes. I'll note I don't see this with kf5.

I don't reproduce with a debugging self build, but I do see it in my distro libreoffice-7.4.6.2
