Windows XP x86 LibreOffice 3.3 beta2 Create presentation with several empty slides Set background image for all slides Set different background image for any other slide (Not for all) Save presentation Close LibreOffice Open saved presentation All slides now have the very same background...
yes, I see the same thing ( on linux ) -> thorsten
By the way... The problem is: LibreOffice edits (in styles.xml) the only entry: <draw:fill-image draw:name="background" xlink:href="some-link-here" xlink:type="simple" xlink:show="embed" xlink:actuate="onLoad" /> and replaces existing image file no matter if you choose to apply new backround to the current slide only... It has to create new style "background2" and change content.xml accordingly... But... Same happens in OpenOffice.org 3.2.1 :) I had to edit .odp file manually in text editor: added background2 style, added .jpg file, edited manifest.xml accordingly and changed some slides in content.xml to use another background style... Voila!.. Now I can use two backgrounds by duplicating slides... Thank you, XML!.. If I create new empty slide it has black background and any change to that slide's background does not save... I thing I broke master-style somehow... If I have to use third background, I have to edit styles.xml again... I hope, my "hand-made" scientific report presentation will look fine tomorrow on the machine with OpenOffice 3.1
[Reproducible] with "LibreOffice 3.3.0Beta3 - WIN XP DE [OOO330m9 (build 3.2.99.3)]", but only for background images, my test did not show any slide background color problems. IMHO most presentations have the same background image for all slides, so currently I agree with Tor Lillqvist that this is not a blocker for LibO 3.3. But It's a serious limitation. It would be fine to find the reason for the problem to check whether this really only is a background image problem or whether other functions are related. If other problems are improbable enough I also would strike this one from the blockers list.
Re-tested on LibO 3.3.0 RC2 to see if the bug was fixed by Merged Commit OOO330m18... It wasn't... :( Changed the Bug description to reflect the fact that the issue seems to affect all Platforms and Operating System... (Noel Power)
Just a small question Should I keep track of my commited bugreports and change the Version tag if the issue is still present in the latest version, or should I set the Version tag according to the earliest known version where the issue was first noticed?.. Right now it seems to me I should update Version tags when I test newer versions...
@eliot - yes, if you re-test, please update the version.
Still happens in LibreOffice 3.3.1 OOO330m19 (Build:8) Reproduced in: Ubuntu package 1:3.3.1-1ubuntu3~maverick1 Debian 6.0 "Squeeze" WinXP SP3
Hello, I have the same issue. But instead of lose the background I lose some repeated pictures, like a heading image. It happens randomly for me. I use linux (KUbuntu) and LibreOffice 3.3.2.
Just tested it in LODev 3.5... Mark as FIXED Style entries for different backgrounds are created and assigned correctly to individual slides...
