Description Mihai Vasiliu 2023-09-24 09:41:05 UTC
Description:
Opening an odp presentation having textboxes with auto-fit enabled in MS PowerPoint ignores auto-fit and renders text outside the slide.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a new Impress presentation
2. Add a new title and content slide
3. Fill a list of 8-10 items, to allow auto-fit to take action and fit the list to slide.
4. Save the presentation as odp
5. Open the presentation in MS PowerPoint.

Actual Results:
Notice that the list is not auto-fitted to the slide, and goes beyond the slide.

Expected Results:
The list should remain auto-fitted to the slide.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Additional Info:
If you go into the text-fitting settings in MS PowerPoint, notice that the option is set to NO auto-fit, although in LO Impress it is enabled.

Moreover, if I enable the auto-fit option in PowerPoint, and then go back to Impress, all is good in both editors. Now the option works as intended.

See the attached files for examples.

Repro from scratch with 7.5 and 7.0, tested against office.com

However, we can't know if this is a problem with LibreOffice or MSO's ODP support.

The 'Shrink text on overflow' does not work if you use it in current PowerPoint with a new pptx file. So I would say, it is a bug in PowerPoint. Tested with Microsoft® PowerPoint® for Microsoft 365 MSO (Version 2309 Build 16.0.16827.20130) 64-bit
