The attached file, originally created a long time ago using probably an old OpenOffice version (but possibly some other sw), was rendering fine up to libreoffice 3.3: all text was black. This is not the case anymore with LO 3.4.0: - in the slide master (2nd slide), font color was "automatic" for all paragraphs. Font color in the master is now set to white for all paragraphs below a certain indent level - consequently, for parts of the text too - see the two "white" lines in the 1st slide.
Created attachment 47906 [details] sample Impress file with white-on-white text that was displayed as black before

Dear bug submitter! Due to the fact, that there are a lot of NEEDINFO bugs with no answer within the last six months, we close all of these bugs. To keep this message short, more infos are available @ https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/NeedinfoClosure#Statement Thanks for understanding and hopefully updating your bug, so that everything is prepared for developers to fix your problem. Yours! Florian
Tested the original file with LO 3.6.0.4 (on win7 64bit), and the original file displays fine. I think bug report can be closed.
