text wrapped after saving as .pptx

the test file you uploaded is not a .pptx but rather a .ppt and looks OK in Win7x64 using LO 4.2.3.3

however if I save it to .pptx, close and reload it, then the text gets wrapped and a bullet is added (see screenshot)

so I change status, summary notes and platform.

@tommy27
You are right. The problematic file is PPT and not PPTX but the PPT has a problem on Ubuntu 14.04.

Can you please verify that the text wraps in Ubuntu 14.04 with the original PPT and change the title and file name to match the issue?

Thanks

sorry I don't have Linux machine to test.

according to what you say and my tests the bug is present in .ppt format under Linux and only after saving to .pptx under Windows

changed summary notes to better reflect this situation.

Reproducible with LO 4.4.0.3, Ubuntu 14.04.

After installing the ttf-mscorefonts-installer package, the text is OK and doesn't wrap. So is it a font substitution issue?

Saving the ppt to pptx, the font changes from Arial to Dejavu Sans (select text - Format - Character: CTL font). This causes the wrapping.

In 3.3.0 the font does not change, but the change is already in oldest commit of Linux 43all repo

Does this only happen with RTL content? Can we reproduce it with LTR-only?

Dear Ofir,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword


Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa

Warm Regards,
QA Team
