Created attachment 188245 [details] Test file from Powerpoint demonstrating the problem See the attached sample file (Test.pptx) created in Microsoft Powerpoint, last opened in version 16.73 - it renders fine in Office (Test-powerpoint.pdf) - the line spacing is wrong in Libreoffice (Test-libreoffice.pdf), causing it to overlap with floating text boxes The fonts used are "Arial" and "Courier New" which I would expect to render correctly. The PDFs here were made under macOS, but we also see the same behaviour with Linux (we have a server which uses Libreoffice CLI to convert .pptx to .pdf offline)

I think I have an idea what's going on. When you have a list with nested bullets, and there are blank entries at level 2 or below: * Foo * Bar * Baz * Qux In Powerpoint, the blank lines between "Bar" and "Baz" are treated as level 2 (and spaced accordingly), whilst in Libreoffice they are treated as level 1, and hence have larger spacing. Workaround: for each blank line, enter a single space (which makes the bullet appear), and then press the "bullets" button to make it disappear again. This leaves: * Foo * Bar (invisible level 2 bullet) (invisible level 2 bullet) * Baz * Qux and the spacing is now more or less the same between LO and Powerpoint
I repro with 7.4, but with 7.5 it already works fine. Tested with Linux bibisect repositories.
