Multiple master slides in notes view

Test file demonstrating the bug

Problem description: VIEWING
- Slide content (ie. the slide image itself) appears sometimes when using notes mode, sometimes not, without apparent logic.
- Aside from this, slide content is perfectly editable in normal mode, even when this content does not show up in notes mode...
- Aside from this, notes are also perfectly editable.
- As a result of this erratic display behavior, the PDF file lacks some slide images when printing pages containing slides & notes.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open the ODP file in attachment.
2. See the result in notes mode.
3. See the result in PDF export.

Current behavior: Erratic slide display in notes mode.

Expected behavior: All slides are displayed in notes mode.

Hi David,

thanks for the report. I can confirm this on Linux with version 4.3.2.2.

Interesting.. Slide #2 contains some text and shapes, more or less as slide 3, yet is not shown in the Notes view.

I see the same behaviour in LibreOffice 3.3.0 , thus must be inherited from OOo.

Multiple master slides in notes view

This bug affects additional Master slides in notes view, and it appears to be detailed in this thread:

http://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/18353/impress-slide-content-not-shown-on-notes-page/

The workaround of tabbing in notes view and to resize the box does not work for me. Most of the times, the box reverts to its default position.

An effective workaround is to create as many templates as I need Master slides, and to import them using Format > Slide Design. This is a major annoyance, as I can't think of a presentation not having several custom master slides.

Could this bug figure in the MAB list, please?

I run LibreOffice version: 4.3.4.1 on Fedora Linux.
