Created attachment 73731 [details] Slide with four text boxes originally in a two-by-two arrangement, now malaligned. Problem description: When saving a LibreOffice Impress file as .pptx for compatibility, text boxes containing bullets are ruined. On reopening the file, any text boxes with wrapped text are shown with their horizontal dimension extended so that there is no longer any wrapped text. The text boxes therefore render with their left border far leftwards from their original position, ruining the slide layout. Also, the bullets in these text boxes render as an empty square (no known character) instead of their original bullet character. Steps to reproduce: 1. Open an existing PPTx document created by MS PowerPoint (document renders correctly initally) 2. Add a few slides, and add some text boxes to the slide. Create a bulleted list with enough text in at least one of the lines so that it wraps onto another line. 3. Save the document in .pptx compatibility. 4. Reopen the document and navigate to the slide you created. 5. Marvel at how your corporate presentation has been totally obliterated! 6. Wonder why you ever thought ditching MS Office and embracing FLOSS office packages was a good idea... Current behavior: - Text boxes with wrapped text become horizontally enlarged so that no more text wrapping occurs. - Bullet point characters are forgotten and render as empty squares. Expected behavior: - Text boxes retain the size and position that the user told them to be - Bullet point lists retain the bullet point characters that were selected by the user - Wrapped lines stay wrapped Operating System: Ubuntu Version: 3.6.2.2 release
Thanks for reporting! (In reply to comment #0) > Steps to reproduce: > 1. Open an existing PPTx document created by MS PowerPoint (document renders > correctly initally) Is it possible for you to attach a sample pptx file to reproduce this behavior? > - Bullet point characters are forgotten and render as empty squares. This behavior is also reproducible when you just create a simple presentation using LibreOffice Impress and save it as pptx. (tested using Linux Mint 14 x64 with LibreOffice 4.0.0.3 rc3) Steps: * Create new presentation * Type a text 'test' for example * Click on 'bullets on/off' button to place a button before your text * Save presentation as pptx * Reopen
