Bug ID: 88073
Summary: FORMATTING: Drawing Object Styles lost after template
update
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 4.4.0.1 rc
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: major
Priority: medium
Component: Presentation
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: sean.car...@gmail.com
In a presentation accepting changes from an updated template (at file open)
causes the "Drawing Object Styles" in the presentation to revert to the LO
defaults, rather than those in the underlying template. This results in
formating loss assuming these styles from the template were not already the LO
defaults. The separate "Presentation" Styles work as expected. The problem is
not new.
Steps to reproduce
1. Create a new presentation
2. Modify the "Default" Drawing Object Style in the slide master. (View ->
Slide Master -> Master; F11 to view styles and formatting, click top left icon
in "Drawing Object Styles" pane, right click on "Default" to modify the style.
As an example, change the font. Change the area color.
3. Save the presentation as a new template: File -> Templates -> Save as
template
4. Create, save and close a new presentation based on this template, any data
will do. Note the "Default" Drawing Object styles are inherited from the
template.
5. Edit / modify the underlying template, any change will do. Save and close.
6. Open the test presentation based on the template. Accept the "template has
been modified, update styles" prompt. Review the "Default" drawing styles
attributes. They're no longer those of the template, they've reverted back to
the LO defaults.
I've marked this as "major" in severity as this is a type of data loss. The
user needs to understand why their formatting has been lost and manually
redefine each impacted style, a task easier said than done. I suspect a work
around would be to import the slides into a new presentation based on the
template, but that would result in the loss of comments, a bug reported awhile
back.
