Testing with:

Version: 24.2.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 77fca616e0bd79e0b405fd0b3543cf8e94e15df3
CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded

I can see the difference in slideshow mode between LO and Office.com.

Same in LO 6.0.

Noting that the connectors are part of a group along with the rectangle that contains the text, e.g. Group 30. Ungrouping makes no difference.

The connector has a line width 0.02 cm in LO.
Maybe related to bug 92222?

Which version of LibreOffice are you using? Please paste the info copied from Help > About LibreOffice here.

Apologies for embarrassingly missing the obvious!

Version: 24.2.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: aa5c3d32d7c85b496fa86d8198478fb6dc157811
CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 6.4; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3

Comment 5 Stéphane Guillou (stragu) 2023-07-19 12:32:16 UTC
Thank you.

Interestingly, the lines look as faint as in LO when in edit mode on Office.com. They are thicker only in presentation mode on Office.com.

- In OOo 3.3, they are thick in edit mode and presentation.
- In 6.0, they are thick in edit mode, faint in presentation.
- In 24.2, they are faint in both edit mode and presentation.

Was the file created in Office 365? If so, what is the width setting used for such a line?

And you said "vertical" but I assume you meant "horizontal"?

In the unpacked PPTX, ppt/slides/slide.xml, I find:

<p:cxnSp><p:nvCxnSpPr><p:cNvPr id="30" name="Straight Connector 29"><a:extLst><a:ext uri="{FF2B5EF4-FFF2-40B4-BE49-F238E27FC236}"><a16:creationId xmlns:a16="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/drawing/2014/main" id="{6CC2BC97-EC44-4F93-9793-731B40AF63D7}"/></a:ext></a:extLst></p:cNvPr><p:cNvCxnSpPr><a:cxnSpLocks/></p:cNvCxnSpPr><p:nvPr/></p:nvCxnSpPr><p:spPr><a:xfrm><a:off x="7004376" y="7094428"/><a:ext cx="11612880" cy="0"/></a:xfrm><a:prstGeom prst="line"><a:avLst/></a:prstGeom><a:ln w="6350"><a:solidFill><a:srgbClr val="90BAE2"/></a:solidFill></a:ln></p:spPr><p:style><a:lnRef idx="1"><a:schemeClr val="accent1"/></a:lnRef><a:fillRef idx="0"><a:schemeClr val="accent1"/></a:fillRef><a:effectRef idx="0"><a:schemeClr val="accent1"/></a:effectRef><a:fontRef idx="minor"><a:schemeClr val="tx1"/></a:fontRef></p:style></p:cxnSp></p:grpSp>

comparison between Office.com and LO 24.2, edit mode vs presentation

At least LO is consistent between edit mode and presentation...

Can you please provide a comparison of edit mode and presentation for Office 365 desktop?

It's (part of) an older file I got from a third party who definitely
created it using Microsoft Office (more likely on a Mac than Windows).

> And you said "vertical" but I assume you meant "horizontal"?

Yes, those horizontal lines.

I do not have access to Office 365 desktop, just the online version.
Which is similar for me in terms of the lines (- alas the icons do not
show up in edit mode).
