Description Katarina Behrens (Inactive) 2016-04-29 09:20:13 UTC
I'm not sure if this is a bug or a feature. If it is a feature, at the very least Impress behaves in pretty unexpected way here

1. Open Impress, go to master slides sidebar deck
2. Pick some master slide with white or transparent background (e.g. DNA) 
3. Format > Page > Background, pick some colour, or gradient. confirm with OK

=> Nothing happens ... eh well, something happens, but not what one would expect. 

=> The background eventually changes, but not on the currently selected (master) slide, but on the default master slide (you can see the preview of it in one of the sidebar panels -- 'Used in this presentation' one)

What I'd expect instead is either one of:
1. background of current slide changes or 
2. user is somehow notified that it is not possible to change the background of this slide (e.g. the background tab would not be there). 

No way it should modify the properties of unrelated master slide( by 'unrelated' I mean not used for the slide we're currently editing)

I can see the same behaviour in 4.3.7, but haven't tried anything older, so reluctant to mark this as 'inherited from OOo'

Repro.

In 5.2, the menu item is Slide - Slide properties.

Repro, but I could not even get it to "eventually" change in the default. So nothing truly happens.

Dear Katarina Behrens (Inactive),

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

Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!

Warm Regards,
QA Team
