Created attachment 190758 [details] Test document for action button gluepoints The action buttons in ppt (binary format) have a bevel form. The buttons have not only gluepoints at the outer edge but at the bevel edges too. LibreOffice has no gluepoints defined for these shapes and therefore the default ones are used. But that goes totally wrong. Open attached file. It has on the first slide an action button with connector lines and on the second slide a screenshot, how it looks in PowerPoint 97. The file contains only the type "action button blank", but the glue point geometry is for all action buttons the same. You cannot use a current PowerPoint for comparison, because it does not support the older bevel form of action buttons. If you move the action button in a current PowerPoint, you can see, that PowerPoint moves the connectors from the inner gluepoints to the outer ones. You can use SoftMaker for a comparison. It imports the ppt file correctly. When you move the action button in SoftMaker, you can see that the connections follow the movement, so the lines are still connected. The definition of the action buttons in binary format is in appendix A on page 130 in document "Office Drawing 97-2007 Binary Format Specification". The missing glue points have to be added in file https://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/svx/source/customshapes/EnhancedCustomShapeGeometry.cxx. BTW: The import of an action button from pptx is wrong too. But that has a different reason and is already covered by bug 157947.
Created attachment 190996 [details] comparison screenshot: LO 24.2 alpha0+ vs online MS Office 365 Thanks Regina. Reproduced in: Version: 24.2.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 7d357628d6e8ce3f9e3c3a567ada21f02bce8d42 CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded Same in OOo 3.3, so inherited. OnlyOffice displays the correct connectors.
Just to clarify: (In reply to Regina Henschel from comment #0) > If you move the action > button in a current PowerPoint, you can see, that PowerPoint moves the > connectors from the inner gluepoints to the outer ones. I can confirm that in online MS Office 365, yes. (In reply to Stéphane Guillou (stragu) from comment #1) > OnlyOffice displays the correct connectors ...but they are not glued to anything.
Dear Regina Henschel, To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year. There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present. If you have time, please do the following: Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/ If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice. If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice. Please DO NOT Update the version field Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker) Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not appropriate in this case) If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so: 1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/ 2. Test your bug 3. Leave a comment with your results. 4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo'; 4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone! Warm Regards, QA Team MassPing-UntouchedBug
