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.
