Thank you for reporting this issue! I have been able to confirm the issue on:
Version: 4.3.0.0.alpha0+Build ID: daa57a101a20e0b37db7090796ad002b8d192b9b
 Date:   Sun Dec 15 23:07:57 2013 +0100
Platform: Ubuntu Linux 13.04

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
As I've been able to confirm this problem I am marking as:

New (confirmed)
Major - data loss or at least import problem that looks like data loss for our end users
High - quite a common feature, slideshows generated in any newer release of MSO with a gradient for text is going to see this issue.

Updating version - at least presentsince 4.1.3.2
Comment 5 Marcos Souza 2014-01-13 14:25:03 UTC
Hi guys,

I'm interested in working in this bug.

I know we need to understand how OOXML handles this, but there is some documents and code pointers where we can touch this?

Hi, you might find this useful: http://www.osb-alliance.de/fileadmin/Working_Groups/OfficeInteroperability/Project1/suse-ooxml-tender-use-case-5.1-report.pdf

Or this:

I also uploaded another pptx test file with transparent background, which is still not detected by LibreOffice.

Perhaps dependent on bug 91238?
Comment 15 Lars Jødal 2018-10-31 15:17:55 UTC
Still present in LO 6.1.2.1: attachment 90582 [details] opens with yellow text, but no gradient in colour.
Comment 16 Buovjaga 2019-09-25 14:42:57 UTC
Still confirmed

Version: 6.4.0.0.alpha0+ (x64)

Comment 19 Lars Jødal 2023-01-27 08:01:26 UTC
The bug is still present in LO 7.4.4.2: The text is a single colour, not a graded yellow.

Version: 7.4.4.2 (x64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 85569322deea74ec9134968a29af2df5663baa21
CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19044; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win
Locale: da-DK (da_DK); UI: da-DK
Calc: threaded

Interestingly, the colour of the text has changed over time:
The original report was white text.
Comment 10 on LO 5.2.3.2 reports yellow text (no grade).
Now the text is black (still no grade)

Doing a little testing, it was yellow still in LO 7.1.7.2 and black by LO 7.2.3.2, i.e. the latest change in behaviour seems to be somewhere in the 7.2.x line or the shift from 7.1.x to 7.2.x. I have not investigated this in detail, as it is just a change from one buggy behaviour to another buggy behaviour, compared to the original grading seen in MS PowerPoint.
Comment 20 Regina Henschel 2023-03-19 23:11:14 UTC
Gradients for characters are not implemented at all and not supported by strict ODF. So that is not a bug but would be an enhancement request.

I consider it as bug, that the character color is not Yellow. Solid character color is possible and should be near to the gradient colors.
