Description Rich Wilson 2014-12-09 19:53:32 UTC
I noticed several anomalies when viewing the attached .pptx file.
I am using Normal view, read-only mode, side windows not displayed.
My comparison is Microsoft PowerPoint 2003 (11.8335.8405) SP3
1. On several slides, such as 5, 6, 7, and 8 an "Insert..." box appears in the middle of the slide. This obscures content.
2. On slide 16, text is hidden behind an image. In PowerPoint, the image background is transparent allowing the text to appear. (In PP, if I click on the image, the image box overlaps the text, yet the text still appears)
3. On slide 17, text has a blue background. In PowerPoint, the text background is transparent allowing the background image to appear behind it.

File which displays problem

Original file was too large. Modify original comments to reflect appropriate slide numbers...
Insert... box appears on slide 1 and others.
Text obstruction appears on slide 9
Blue background appears on slide 10

TESTING with LO 4.4.0.0.beta2 + Ubuntu 14.04

On Slide 1 there's an element "Outline Text 'Content Placeholder 2'". It appears to be empty, and if you delete it, the Insert box goes away.

Looks like we've got font-substitution for Calibri on that slide. (Carlito is a metric-compatible substitute, and we do ship it w/LO, so the layout shouldn't be affected).

The image does not appear to have a transparent bg to me. Exporting it, it appears to have a solid white bg, so perhaps PP is converting the white to alpha?

The BG is definitely not transparent in LibreOffice.

When I select the blue table and Right Click -> Table, I can't get the dialog to ever come up (it appears to hang).

The devs may want to break this up into multiple reports, or there may be an underlying issue that's affecting both slides 9 and 10.

Status -> NEW

Correction: After a couple of minutes, the dialog will eventually appear/render fully. But it's verrry slow :P

restested under Win8.1 x64 using LibO 5.3.6.2 and 6.1.0.0.alpha0+
Build ID: 075b5ad5bdd230738ee30b0ea17a7fa9502c218b
CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 6.3; UI render: default; 
TinderBox: Win-x86@42, Branch:master, Time: 2017-12-22_00:40:12
Locale: it-IT (it_IT); Calc: group threaded

two issues still remaing unchanged:

1- presence of "insert box" in the middle of slide 1 and 4

2- text obstruction by image white background (I suppose it was meant to be transparent) in slide 9


probably is better to split this bug into 2 separate reports, each one addressing a single issue at once.
Comment 8 Timur 2018-08-09 17:33:19 UTC
Bugzilla is "issue based", so a single issue must be pointed at, after a search for not being a duplicate. Bugzilla is not "document based", like "this document doesn't display nice".
