Single slide powerpoint 2007 reproducer for group import problem

I have attached a pptx which reproduces the problem.

I am running LibreOffice 3.5.2 on Ubuntu 11.10.

If I open a Powerpoint pptx with a group which a solid fill applied to the group, this is lost and no colour shows IE it appears transparent.

In LibreOffice - Select Group and look at Area - Fill is None

If I apply a Solid Fill to the objects within the group, the solid fill is correctly imported. Select GRoup, look at Area - Fill is corrrect Colour

If I open the attachment in ppt 2007 all is correct, all Textboxs show colours (red for single text box , blue for group with solid fill on each both text boxes and and maroon for group with solid fill set on the group.

If you open a PPT 2007 pptx with a grouped object (in this case a rectangle with two embeddedd text boxes , but it could be any grouped object), if a solid fill with colour is applied to the object, the colour is lost when importing into Impress. If you select the object and look at Area this has Fill as None

If I have the same grouped object (rectangle with two embedded text boxes) and with colour applied to the embedded text boxes, the colour is correctly imported into Impress.

If I apply a colour fill to a text box and the apply colour, this imports correctly into Impress.

So, single slide reproducer works correctly in PPT 2007, and imports colour correctly into Impress with with colour applied to:

- textbox
- colour applied to two text boxes within a grouped object

But is not imported correctly when colour is applied to the grouped object.
You can apply the colour manually within LibreOffice as follows:

Select grouped object / Area / Colour Fill

Screen shot of test case in LibreOffice 4.0.3.2 on Ubuntu Linux 13.04

Does the screen shot I attached demonstrate correct or incorrect behavior?  I believe this is in LibreOffice 4.0.3.2 RC2, not the GA release of version 4.0.3.2.

Tom - this is an accurate reproduction of the problem. This is what the original PowerPoint looks like. If I open with LibreOffice the two textboxes in the right most column are white (no colour shown).

Apologies for not having gotten around fixing this bug yet; unfortunately in future I'll have even less time at my disposal for this, so I'm freeing up ownership for other volunteers to take over.

Well this report should have been closed back in 2013 it seems :)

Confirmed with PPT viewer that LibO renders it just fine. WFM.
