Description Christian 2023-05-30 07:42:35 UTC
Description:
rounded rectangles show up wrong in PowerPoint 365 
text boxes different in PowerPoint

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open attached testcase in PowerPoint 365 
2. Open testcase.odp in Libre Office and compare
3.

Actual Results:
The rounded rectangles are rendered wrong in PPT
The text boxes are too narrow in PPT which makes PPT adding a line break on some words

Expected Results:
The graphics should show up same way in PPT as in LO to allow collaboration with colleagues using MS PowerPoint.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Additional Info:
I took screenshots of the PPT rendering and LO renderings.

Shape issue:

In 7.3.7.2, I can see the issue: I open the ODP file, save as PPTX, and reload the file -> the bottom of the rounded rectangles is inverted.
However, this shape issue (a regression) is now fixed in a current master build, and since LO 7.4.

Please update to a currently supported version (7.5 preferably).

(Tried to identify the fix but oldest version in the 7.4 bibisect repo is already OK.)

Text box issue:

I also reproduce this in a recent master build. Office 365 wraps over two lines whereas LO fits everything in the box, but the setting "fit width / height to text" on the text box is lost when saving as PPTX.

This looks like a limitation of PPTX not supporting this setting for shapes, but in my opinion, the filter should make sure that the fixed size should be enough to not wrap when opening in MS Office. Or is it not our bug?

Same in 6.0.0.3.

Dear Christian,

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
