[email protected] changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|UNCONFIRMED |NEW Ever confirmed|0 |1 --- Comment #4 from [email protected] --- Well, I must confess I have never thought of this as unusual. I believed that the very purpose of having multiple slide masters was to let them be /different/. And this has always worked perfectly in Libreoffice up to 4.2. And used to work just fine in Openoffice too. When working with slides, the program was applying to the current slide those styles defined in the corresponding master page. This is also a very usual flow too, at least in the academy. One often needs to assemble in a single presentation some slides that have different sources. And if the original slides use different bullet point indentations, one wants to respect them, not to be compelled to reformat all of them by hand, just because the text does not fix or does not flow correctly. This means that different slides, corresponding to different master pages should be able to have different bullet point setting, with particular respect to their positioning. In my opinion, it makes sense to have the styles belong to the master page, not to the document. I wonder what the ODP format says in this respect. Is the current behavior a mis-interpretation of the standard? Or was the previous behavior a mis-interpretation? In any case can this be added to the release notes while in doubt, so that people who uses different master pages avoids LibO 4.3? Let me remark it again. The issue here is not that LibO 4.3 does not /show/ the document as LibO < 4.3 used to do. The issue is that a roundtrip through LibO 4.3 permanently changes the presentation file in such a way that the old behavior cannot be obtained anymore, even in LibO < 4.3. Even if the current behavior was the right one (and I don't think so, for sure it is more restricted and far less useful), people should have a chance to transition gracefully (or even to decide to stay at LibO 4.2 forever if they do not like it). Now, I see that also Apache Openoffice is broken in this respect. So, I believe that the regression was introduced there and carried over to Libreoffice. Should I report the bug to AOO rather than here? In any case, since it is not only me to see this behavioral change, I am marking the bug as confirmed. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
