Reproduction instruction: 1. Create new presentation 2. In the main content box of the first slide, enter two paragraphs, e.g. "Hello", Enter, then "World". 3. Select-all of the text in that box. 4. On the menus, choose Format > Paragraph... 5. In "Indentation and Spacing", set "Space below paragraph" to 1.0 cm 6. Set "Do not add space between paragraphs of the same style" to checked Expected results: No space between the two paragraphs. Actual results: 1cm of space between the two paragraphs. Now, there are actually two issues here: First, the text refers to paragraph styles, but Impress UI still doesn't properly allow seeing, setting and modifying paragraph styles, see bug 152653. But ignoring that - the two paragraphs are of the same style, so the space-below should be suppressed.
This happens not just in Impress, but also in Writer. But I want to focus the bug report on Impress, because while in Writer you could perhaps argue that "Oh, but it's just in textboxes, the main content respects "Do not add space between paragraphs of the same style" just fine, it's not so bad - in Impress, we only have textboxes.
Please let QA first confirm when reporting a bug. UX has limited resources.
Can confirm the behavior within sd. But believe non-actionable until text spans within sd text boxes can be fully controlled as paragraph objects. Depends on bug 152652
