Created attachment 115370 [details] Three steps showing problem. See attached image. I create the presentation and everything is fine. NO problems. I save the presentation and return later to continue work or to make an edit. Open the presentation and all text is blocked in white. I click on the text to be edited and it appears. Once focus is lost the text appears as a block of white again. I removed and reinstalled libreoffice to reset the settings. The text is auto formatted. The image was added to a master template as was the text in the footer, that is not impacted. If I change the background image on the master slide the text will appear again, but the style information will be lost. If I change to a dark background color the same thing occurs. If I go to a light background or simply the default format when creating a new presentation everything appears to be ok. It seems related to a dark background and the auto settings. I am running Ubuntu 15.04 using the Ambiance theme. I was running a dark theme but changed to Ambiance to see if Gnome settings had anything to do with it. It made no difference. I have used a dark image background before and have had no difficulties. This first appeared yesterday but I have not been changing presentations for about a month or two. I do regular updates with Ubuntu so the verion of Libreoffice should be current. I even downloaded openoffice 4.1.1-6 to give it a try. It shows the text but the color contrast is too low. It appears though. Don't know if that helps. If I change the font color in LibreOffice it does not make any impact. Thank you. Tim

Created attachment 115385 [details] Document with the problem.
I also copied the file to a Windows machine (Windows 7) and had the same problem.
Confirmed. 4.2.8 doesn't have this problem.

Possible duplicate of bug 88295. However, the document attached to this bug is one of those that got broken by buggy LibO ODF export code and have to be repaired, see bug 88055, comment 5 how to do that
Having replaced instances of fo:background-color="#ffffff" with fo:background-color="transparent" in the .fodp version of the document as suggested in comment 6, it then looks as you'd expect, and saving it again within LO (5.0 and 5.1 master) doesn't cause the issue to reoccur. If you can still reproduce this issue from scratch in LO 5.0 or later, please feel free to reopen this bug. Thanks *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 88295 ***
