Created attachment 190616 [details] placeholder field missing, wrong text displayed on slide This bug is a regression, everything works fine in LO 7.1.6. The first version I found this problem was in LO 7.4.5. If you load the attached document then there should be one shape on the first slide. If loading in LO 7.4.5 and later versions the shape on the first slide is missing.
Opening with Microsoft® PowerPoint® para Microsoft 365 MSO (versión 2310 compilación 16.0.16924.20054) de 64 bits there is nothing either.

This bug seems to be the result of following commit: pptx: import shape text from master page If shape has custom text defined in master page but no text itself - don't prefer placeholder text but text from master page.

My comments on this: Also if the placeholder shape does not have its own text it's not a good idea to remove this shape for following reasons: - the user may want to remove the placeholder - the user may want to move / resize the placeholder - or the user want to have different text within the placeholder ... If this shape is missing it is not easy to archive this.

That's strange, because the mentioned commit is only in 24.2 and 7.6, and definitely not in 7.5 or 7.4 as the attachment name and the specified version number suggests. For me this started between 7.0.0.3 and 7.3.0.3.
