Take an Impress document. Insert a shape, for example a rectangle. Fill the shape with a gradient, for example "rectangular red/white". Convert the shape to metafile. Rotate the metafile by 45° Notice, that the gradient is rotated too. Now switch to presentation mode. Notice, that the gradient is no longer rotated.
Some details to reproduce: > Fill the shape with a gradient, for example "rectangular red/white". By right clicking the rectangle > Area... > select "Gradients" tab > rectangular red/white > OK > Convert the shape to metafile. By right clicking the rectangle > Convert > To Metafile > Rotate the metafile by 45° By right clicking the rectangle > Position and Size... (the topmost menu) > Rotation tab > Angle: 45 > OK
