Description gleppert 2011-06-03 17:15:15 UTC 
Please open attached presentation and choose the view/tab "notes". You will see
that the notes/handout page is empty, although the slide has content. Also,
printing the notes page results in an empty frame on the printout. 

Other slides (deleted in attached file) did not have this problem. Their notes
pages were displayed and printed perfectly.

Remark: As I work quite often with Impress, this bug occurs in several of my presentations, but it always happens with single slides in these presentations. I could not find any rule, why these particular slides have problems to correctly display the notes page. Any idea?

This happens on Ubuntu 10.10, LibreOffice 3.3.2 PPA, English UI, Intel 32-Bit

[This is an automated message.]
This bug was filed before the changes to Bugzilla on 2011-10-16. Thus it
started right out as NEW without ever being explicitly confirmed. The bug is
changed to state NEEDINFO for this reason. To move this bug from NEEDINFO back
to NEW please check if the bug still persists with the 3.5.0 beta1 or beta2 prereleases.
Details on how to test the 3.5.0 beta1 can be found at:
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugHunting_Session_3.5.0.-1

Comment 6 Jacqueline Rahemipour 2013-03-23 19:23:54 UTC 
The slide preview is shown correctly on the notes view, if the layout is applied to the selected notes page again:

- change to the tab "notes"
- Open Layouts in the task pane
- Click on the Layout "Notes"
- The slide preview is now visible again
- For further changes go to the notes master

Notes view / layouts are working as intended, closing.
