Description Philip Timms 2014-03-10 19:31:39 UTC
Problem description: 
As above

Steps to reproduce:
Just import a pptx file

Current behavior:

Expected behavior: I'd heard that Microsoft compatability was to be improved - this certainly seems to be a bew problem area.

              
Operating System: Windows 7
Version: 4.2.1.1 release
Last worked in: 4.1.5.3 release

Comment 3 bugzilla 2014-03-25 11:52:32 UTC
I have submitted a presentation demonstrating this issue. Also, I found the exact location of the problem in the presentation XML.

To reproduce:
- Open the attached .pptx
- Go to slide 16 (issue also on many other pages)

What I expect to see:
- "Difference between two test scores"

What I see:
- "Difference between twotest scores"

Cause:
In the source file for slide 16 (i.e. /ppt/slides/slide16.xml) we see:
<a:r>
  <a:rPr lang="en-US" dirty="0" smtClean="0"/>
  <a:t>Difference between two </a:t>
</a:r>
<a:r>
  <a:rPr lang="en-US" dirty="0" smtClean="0"/>
  <a:t>test scores </a:t>
</a:r>
It seems that LibreOffice trims the content within the <a:t> tags, losing the space that should have been there.

** Please read this message in its entirety before responding **

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 on a currently supported version of LibreOffice (4.4.1 or later): https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the version of LibreOffice and your operating system, and any changes you see in the bug behavior
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a short comment that includes your version of LibreOffice and Operating System

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)

http://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
