slide deck with disappearing text

In some slides decks text entered on a slides is not being saved. The text appears on the slide after saving for as long as the deck is open but if you close the file and reopen it, on some slides, text that was entered is no longer there. Re-adding text to slides where it was missing, saving the file, closing the file and reopening the file results in the same behavior, the text that was re-added is missing again.
If however you re-add the missing text to an affected slide, make a copy of the slide, save the file, close the file, open the file again, the re-added text remains on the copy of the affected slide but is missing again on the original affected slide.

Attached is a slide deck displaying this behavior. The hidden slides are the ones effected by the disappearing text bug. The slides immediately following the hidden slides are copies of the corrected versions of the affected slides. The bug can be reproduced by editing the hidden slides to make them look like the slides that immediately follow then, save the file, close the file, reopen the file. The hidden slides will have the text that was added missing where the copies of the slides will remain unaffected.

No repro - added text to slide 18, save, reload, text is still here.

Same here: No repro
Version: 24.2.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community

Comment 3 Stéphane Guillou (stragu) 2023-10-04 20:34:20 UTC
Not reproduced either with:

Version: 7.4.7.2 / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 723314e595e8007d3cf785c16538505a1c878ca5
CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US

But I can reproduce in 7.3.7.2, so I am confident this is a duplicate of bug 153161.

Ron, please update to a currently-supported version (7.5 or 7.6) and test again to confirm that it is fixed for you too.
