Thank you for reporting this issue! I have been able to confirm the issue on: Version 3.6.5.2 Platform: Bodhi Linux 2.2 x64 + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + As I've been able to confirm this problem on an earlier release I am changing the version number as version is the earliest version that we can confirm the bug, we use comments to say that the bug exists in newer versions as well. Marking as: New (confirmed) Normal - prevents high quality work High - formatting is quite terrible, if you were to open a PPT sent from someone else the file is almost unusable as it is.

This PPT slideshow works perfectly in my LibreOffice 4.4.2.0.0+ built at home under Ubuntu 14.10 x86-64. The only small problem is in slide 20 in which the text area has the option "Autofit text" checked in its contextual menu. That has the effect to change the font size (32 --> 30,3) that breaks the alignment with other text boxes. Unchecking this option solves the problem. Closing as WorksForMe. Please feel free to reopen if you disagree. Best regards. JBF
It looks to me testing this is nearly solved on libreoffice 4.4.0.3 on windows. I reported this bug a while ago. The bug has been resolved except for the slide that you mentioned where the text does to fit or align probably due to the font size issue. Is there a way to disable the autofit text option if it is moving the text in the incorrect position automatically when opening files, or an automated way to resize the text so that it can fit in the spaces, without having to disable options manually and change font size? I would like to receive some feedback on this issue before I can close this bug.
