Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 63643
object background hides content in slide show
Last modified: 2017-05-20 11:08:31 UTC
Tested on Linux and XP on PC, so it is probably a fault on all? See http://www.bcs.org/upload/ppt/schoolssurvey.ppt (described in http://www.bcs.org/server.php?show=ConWebDoc.3356) The above is a high-profile (British computer Society) presentation of recent research on attitudes to computer science in Schools. It was recently presented at a major conference of UK Computer Science academics. So many may be trying to look at it in OO, and if it fails that will harm the reputation of OO. In OOo 2.0.2 there are two problems, only the second of which (b) below shows up in OOo 1.1.5. (a) in full screen mode the graphical contents of slides 3 to 10 are not shown even though they are shown in other modes, and included in exported PDF. (This problem does not occur in OO 1.1.5). The cause seems to be an opaque white background panel being shown on top in full screen view, but not in other views. So it looks like a bug related to full screen view. (b) In slides 16,19,20,21 the text key indicating what colours mean does not show up. In this case the problem is that it is there but hidden by the black background. This one shows up in OO 1.1.5 and in the exported PDF. That suggests the bug is related to how the file is imported to OO from powerpoint format: the depth order of the graphical components is wrong. (I am not an expert user of either Powerpont or OO -- I use Latex for my own work. I use OO only to view stuff done by other people. So I may have misdiagnosed the cause -- found as a result of my accidentally discovering the 'break' menu option in OO. But I hope my description of the symptoms is clear enough to help OO experts find the problem.) Aaron Sloman www.cs.bham.ac.uk/~axs
confirmed with 680_m160 on WinXP Pro SP2
Both problems reproducible. I am writing a second issue for the second problem: please file only one problem in one issue . Thanks. New issue is i63660. Reoproducible. Reassigned.
I just thought I would check progress on this using OpenOffice.org 2.3.1 The problem is still there (on my linux machine using Fedora 6): I.e. (a) in full screen mode the graphical contents of slides 3 to 10 are not shown even though they are shown in other modes, and included in exported PDF. The cause seems to be an opaque white background panel being shown on top in full screen view, but not in other views. So it looks like a bug related to full screen view.
