Description NARAYAN 2015-06-03 22:38:51 UTC
Created attachment 116267 [details]
Bullet shapes are replaced by horizontal pipe symbol

Version: 4.4.3.2
Build ID: 88805f81e9fe61362df02b9941de8e38a9b5fd16
Locale: en_US

When saving a presentation in pptx format , bullets shapes are not retained after saving , closing and re-opening the document.

Bullet shapes appear as horizontal bars that appear like the " | " pipe symbol.

However when typing new text and also creating new bullets, it only appears as black bullets.
\\ The bullet function needs to be throughly tested to hold both color and shape and size \\

This is the attachment as requested

Hi,

I have two attachment, One is Screen shot image, another is actual PPTX format.
As you can see the bullets have RANDOMLY changed symbols. In earlier attachment it is PIPE symbol. 
In Second attachment , it is a NinJa Star symbol :)  

As requested , bug set to unconfirmed 

Steps to reproduce bug:

Create a new presentation in the same version I am using currently
Create text content with bullets
Save file in MS latest 2013 version PPTX
Close and Reopen file
See the magic that happens.

I see pipes in this attachment as well.

I reproduced from scratch - saving a presentation with a bulleted list to pptx loses the bullets completely.

However, it seems there are a lot of dupes or near-dupes:
bug 77881
bug 80520
bug 89525
bug 91587

Narayan: would you mark this as duplicate of one of those?
