As in upstream bug on launchpad: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/846381 Letters of Fontwork such as 'O' appeared coloured in on slideshow mode, if they use gradient or bitmap. This only happens when hardware acceleration (anti-aliasing) is enabled, however without this fontwork is blocky with jagged edges. Fontwork shadows are also distorted in slideshow mode. This happens in all Libreoffice versions.

Marking Status -> NEW based on new test results from Comment #7-14.
Found a workaround for this bug when using gradients, that you have to apply to each fontwork object in turn: [1] Make a fontwork object and set fill to gradient [2] On the object: Right-click>Area...>Area>Untick 'Automatic' under 'Increments.
