------- Additional comments from [email protected] Mon Dec 29 19:31:26 +0000 2008 ------- We have identified this issue in 3.0.0_m9 during the Hebrew OO.o L10N effort, and it seems to have a language / direction (RTL) tie-in. Windows XP, SP2 ATI Rage II+ 3D, PCI 16-bit video @ 1152 x 864 The behavior was as follows: - Start OO.o - Create new presentation - Choose basic template (1 header box above, 1 bullet box below) - Enter Hebrew text - Show Slide show (F5) - Screen is blank To fix the problem: - Add Latin text - Show Slide Show - Screen is correct, with both Latin and Hebrew Once the problem was fixed, it did not recur, and slides showed correctly, whether they contained Latin text, Hebrew, or a combination. We did some testing, and established that the "use" of Latin text was enough to enable display of the slide, for example: - Start OO.o - Create new presentation - Choose basic template (1 header box above, 1 bullet box below) - Enter Latin text in a field - Delete the Latin text - Enter Hebrew text - Show Slide Show - Screen is correct, showing Hebrew It sure "smells" like an uninitialized variable (or missing initialization procedure) that is invoked from Latin (English) text but not from Hebrew (RTL) text. Whether it is a function of the direction (RTL vs. LTR), or of the font / language set, is unclear. If there is someone who is set up with Arabic it might be instructive to see if they have the same problem, in which case it's more likely an RTL issue. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
