--- Comment #4 from Callegar <[email protected]> ---
You are right, the size is recognized as "Widescreen". I tested with a new
presentation from Powerpoint and it works. The problem was with a presentation
that I received on which they probably messed the size (maybe they changed it
and then tried to change it back incorrectly).

The second part of the problem remains, though: the names are quite hard to
associate to what they are employed for:

- Screen 4:3, Screen 16:9, Screen 16:10
- On-Screen Show (4:3), On-Screen Show (16:9)
- Widescreen

It is a bit problematic to expect that a random user can associate: the first
ones with the LibO sizes; the second group with the sizes for compatibility
with (legacy) powerpoint and for google document presentations; the last one
with compatibility with newer powerpoint and that it is a 16:9 format. Wouldn't
it be nice to rename them to *always* indicate the form factor and to mark the
"compatible" and "native" formats as such?

Furthermore, a "native" slide size that is 16:9 or 16:10, derived from Screen
4:3 but larger than it (i.e., obtained from it by making it wider rather than
shorter — same relationship that exists among On-Screen Show (4:3) and
Widescreen) is still missing and would be quite useful to import stuff
originally developed for 4:3 slides into 16:9 slides. 

Can these last changes still be considered from this issue or would it be
better to pen a new wishlist bug just for those?
