--- Comment #6 from [email protected] --- @Peter Würtz Welcome to the club. Impress simply is not (and never has been) a top priority on (Ooo)Libreoffice developers' list if it comes to bugs. That is very Very VERY sad, and I think it is a BIG mistake. This way Libreoffice will always remain a niche-product for all of those parts of academia and business where professional presentations influence not only careers but many other things on an every-day basis. Yet, that's how open source development works, namely by how many people 'make noise' to ask for resolution of what bugs. Sad enough there are simply zillions of more users out there who need Libreoffice just as an MSWord/MSExcel replacement rather than as a Powerpoint or KeyNote or MathEditor replacement. So there is just much too little traffic on all those nasty bugs in Impress, and hence too little 'persuasion' for the developers ... even if the bugs are as *absolutely* *devastating* as this bug here. Just for the record: another very 'nice' example of this situation has been Bug 48179 (still Ooo). Check it out. That one was just unbelievable - but, counted together with its duplicates - it has taken more than *7* years to get at least a 'workaround' embedded into Ooo's code base. To summarize, I fear this bug will still be around for a long time ... unless you find some >200 people constantly knocking the door. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
