Created attachment 196694 [details] test presentation When a presentation template is changed, opening presentations based on this template causes a prompt, asking whether the changes of the template shall be applied to the presentation. This does not work correctly any longer. Steps to reproduce: - Downlaod and open test presentation attached. - File -> Templates -> Save as template - File -> New -> Templates and choose template just saved (you need perhaps select the filter "Presentations") - save the presentation created - File ->Templates -> Edit template and choose the template - View -> Master Slide and edit the template, e.g. delte one of the bullets - Save - open the presentation created above - the promt "Confirmation" appears: select "Update Styles" Result: the background colouring disappears, but the bullet deleted in the template is still there. The same seems to happen in Draw and Calc.
Bibisected with linux-64-7.5 to daab698b346e5e40b67f1e15c796c4e399ccaf8a sd: replace hardcoded table styles with xml file This is a bit strange as there is no table in attachment 196694 [details] Regarding what the commit message says, I see some style:paragraph-properties and loext:graphic-properties elements in content.xml and styles.xml, but not related to cells as there are no tables.
Importanbt "Template Changer" extension at https://extensions.libreoffice.org/en/extensions/show/27416 says: Due to a problem in LibO (Bug 163157) this works only for writer documents. So this seems like Major-High.
Problem persists in Impress v25.8.4.2. Although after: - *Custom template* is created and then saved - *New presentation* was created using that template and then saved - *Custom template* is edited and then saved - Reopening *New presentation* does not show a "Confirmation" prompt with "Update Styles"/"Keep old styles" and styles does not update from an edited template. This is working in Writer.
It looks like mine problem may be entire different and not a problem at all: from this post https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/apply-template-change-to-all-files/67872/5?u=gacuxz it looks like function is working for v25.8.4.2, but only if you create a document from template using `File`>`New`>`Template`. It's a bit confusing, sorry for the intrusion.
I have the similar (possibly the same) problem on v25.8.4.2 and some simple steps to reproduce: - In an empty Impress document go to the Master slide. - Select 'Title Area for Autolayouts' frame inside the slide and change it's font and color (ex. to red) editing 'Presentation Styles -> Title'. Save file as a template - Create New Document from this template using 'File -> New -> Template', edit the title to some text and save the file. - Edit the template 'File -> Templates -> Edit template' by changing font and color once again (to ex. green) and just press 'Save -> Close' - Opening the New Document asks me if I want to update the styles and after pressing 'Update Styles' the 'Title' resets the font to default and color to black. Some more testing: Tried doing the same using different menus (like templates startup window), but this always performed the same. Tried creating more master slides in a template, and more normal slides in a document - this brought even more confusion: it looks like the style of the first frame always resets to default, while other slides keeps it’s style but is not updated from a template. User in 'Ask' forum after auditing XML pointed out that this may be a bug: https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/unclear-documentation-regarding-master-slides-layouts-and-templates/98925/11
