I've got a sample 1 page slide that when exported to PDF causes the resulting PDF to have some strange vertical band running down the middle.

I've verified this behavior in Windows LibreOffice Impress (version 4.3.1.2) and Debian's LibreOffice Impress (4.3.2.2.0+ Build ID: 430m0(Build:2)).

Exported PDF has a vertical red band that does not appear on the slide in editing or presenting mode.

Issue appears to be the SVG layer holding the vertical gradient on both the title bar and the page bar is not being rendered during Export to PDF at the same width as the underlaying SVG horizontal bars. It is just very exaggerated on the title bar.

Things seem much better in current 4.4.0, but not perfect--but that could be an issue on Windows rather than a Linux. Any better there with current build of master?

Personally I'd say Resolved Fixed in master.

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 (5.0.1 or preferably 5.0.2.2 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

   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";
