Description Hans Deragon 2011-10-26 02:08:42 UTC
If a long sentence (left justified) wraps to the next line, the 2nd line and subsequent lines are indented if the file is saved in .ppt format.

To reproduce the problem, save this file as Powerpoint 97/2000/XP/2003 (.ppt), close this file, reload the .ppt file within LibreOffice and observe the indentation.  This happens also when loading in Microsoft Powerpoint.

Attached, the simple presentation used to reproduce this problem.

I have set the severity as major, since this is basic text in a basic presentation and is reproducible all the time.  I am amazed that I have not found a duplicate of this one yet.  This is a major show stopper for LibreOffice Adoption.

Happens on LibreOffice 3.4.3 OOO340m1 (Build:302), Ubuntu 11.04.

Comment 3 Hans Deragon 2012-12-22 22:18:00 UTC
Still reproduceable with LibreOffice 3.5.4.2 Build ID: 350m1(Build:2) (Latest version on Ubuntu 12.04 as of 2012/12/22)
Comment 4 Hans Deragon 2012-12-22 22:20:06 UTC
Format is much more worse when saving as 2007/2010 .pptx format with LibreOffice 3.5.4.2 Build ID: 350m1(Build:2) (Latest version on Ubuntu 12.04 as of 2012/12/22).
Comment 5 A (Andy) 2014-10-18 19:56:49 UTC
for me not reproducible with LO 4.3.2.2 (Win 8.1)

Does this issue still persist for you or anybody else in Linux with the latest release of LO?

As of version: 5.2.3.2 Build ID: 1:5.2.3~rc2-0ubuntu1~xenial, this issue has been magically fixed. Closing it.
Comment 9 Timur 2017-01-04 11:19:37 UTC
Solved long time ago, 4.2 or before. 
If a specific commit/fix is not known, then it should be marked as WorksForMe.
