When inserting an audio file, if the current slide has any content in the center (where the audio "box" will be put), this content is replaced with the audio "box" automatically. Example: - Put a big image in the center of the slide - Click outside the image to be sure it's not selected - Insert audio file - Picture will be replaced by sound "box", with exact same size the image was The only found workaround was to insert audio file to an empty slide, then cut/paste it to the target slide ... not very convenient :) This problem was already existing in previous versions (checked on v3.5.0rc3)
Unconfirmed with v3.3.4 under windows 7 x64. Confirmed with v4.1.6.2 under mint 16 x64. Confirmed with v5.1.1.1 under ubuntu 14.04 x64. Any inserted audio or video destroys any text/graphics directly underneat the place the 'black box' is set. Another workaround is to move the text/graphics towards the side (any) of the slide and move them back after inserting.
Adding keyword 'preBisect' as this regression was introduced before branch 4.4 and therefore it can't be bibisected as there's no bibisect repository for this branch.
