Third bug indicating that LO 4xy formatting is very broken. Moving and/or copying a slide in the slide sorter reverts assigned custom styles to default. Foreword: the style and format management features of LibreOffice are a clear USP over PPT. And I make heavy use of those. But with introduction of version 4 they simple do not work as intended and render this product useless for me (unfortunately, because I really do like LO). Steps to reproduce: Open impress, create new document Add a shape (e.g. rectangle) to page Open styles menu (hit F11) Select rectangle Click in styles menu "new style from selection" Name it "watchamacallit" Change the style settings (e.g. other background i.e. area color) Add a second blank page Save the document, close impress, re-open document - everything fine so far Change the order of the slides in the slide sorter (left pane) by dragging THE EMPTY page from position 2 to position one Save the document, close impress, re-open document - everything fine Now change the order of the slides in the slide sorter (left pane) by dragging the page with our custom object from position 2 to position one Save the document, close impress, re-open document The custom shape has lost it's style assignment "watchamacallit" and reverted back to default which can be easily grasped from the different color since we changed the style Expected behavior would be that the assigned style would be retained. This seems to be exactly the same problem as with "slide copy" (so copy the slide with custom shape within document instead of moving - this had been reported earlier and is still not yet resolved).

Hi Markus - What's the bug # for the issue that's been previously reported? Status: NEW
Hi, initially I reported this as 62175... to my surprise it got closed and I reopened it... Merry Christmas, and thanks for your help, Markus
Sorry I don't get the rationale. If my head is still working in 2014 this would then be Dupe. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 62175 ***
