When editing master page, main text area size is lost after saving file (Not saved or reset) It's very easy to reproduce : - open Impress - go to master page edition - resize the text area - save the file (otp or odp) - open it - insert a new slide -> the text area size is the default one not the saved one -> the text area size in master page is the default one Tested platforms : Windows 7 and Ubuntu 12.04 LibreOffice versions : 3.5.4, 3.5.5, 3.6.1.1 This bug is a major one as it make working with templates difficult and it doesn't help when trying to convince people to migrate from powerpoint to Impress ;-)
I can confirm the error; I've been working with a presentation, and every time I open it I have to resize the Master View text area size.
Same problem with LibreOffice 3.6.2.2
This was originally reported in bug 34987. I ask that 55720, 53340, and 54005 be merged into 34987. I also updated the version to 3.6.2.2 as the issue affects the present release.
