Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 78356
Problems while viewing a presentation in the fullscreen mode. IMPORTANT!
Last modified: 2008-06-17 08:12:45 UTC
While viewing a presentation in the fullscreen mode, transparent (and other) elements of a template (except text and all pictures) are missing. The templates I have used were the official ones from OpenOffice. But also some self-made ones weren't showed correctly in the presentation. This bug appears only on OpenOffice 2.2, older versions (2.1 and 2.0.4) work correctly. I haven't tested it yet on the Release Candidates. It appears on Linux (x86). I was able to reproduce this bug on a clean installation of Ubuntu 7.04. I hope you will have it corrected in a short time, because this bug makes working with Impress VERY hard, nearly impossible. I don't even speak about presenting something.

Reduced prio to something sensible. @denys_s: did you use the Ubuntu-provided packages, or downloaded directly from openoffice.org? And could you check whether changing hardware acceleration in tools->options->view fixes this?
@thb: I have used both packages. The first time those provided by Ubuntu, the second time I have them downloaded from the openoffice.org. The result is the same. Yes, I tried to solve the problem by changing the hardware acceleration. It didn't help. About the priority: If we leave it at P3, will it be ever corrected?
I have the same problem like denys_s. All hints doesn't work and i don't know how to solve this problem.
I think also that it is an Ubuntu and not an OOo bug. But nevertheless could you attach the document? Maybe it's a z-order bug.

Well, it doesn't look as it would be better. I've installed a clean installation of Fedora 7 on my notebook and... There is the same problem. I have tried to use another graphics driver for both computers (on which I've tested OOo) but there is no change. The bug is there! Because it is not a problem of a particular Linux distro, I change the priority to the level P2.
I can confirm this from Fedora 7. I wonder if it's been fixed in 2.2.1 since that's the version I'm running in Windows and I can't duplicate the problem there. The latest OpenOffice.org version in their updates repositories is 2.2.0. Perhaps we should try removing the rpms and test install 2.2.1 from the OpenOffice.org download site. If this fixes the problem, we need to pressure the distros to get 2.2.1 in their repositories.
I can confirm this on Fedora 7 with 2.2.1, using Fedora rpms, or OO.org download, or OOG680_m1. It seems that any area fill that uses transparency does not appear at all in the slideshow, either in fullscreen or window mode. PDF and image export are fine. I have a bugdoc while trying to nail down the problem; attaching it here just in case it may be useful. I hope this rather nasty problem does not make it into 2.3.
Created attachment 47693 [details] Another presentation showing problem
confirm with pjanik build m233 on debian i386 stable using both bugdocs, which have so far been submitted to this issue [desc 9,13].
Running the current snapshot build (OOH680_m4) on Fedora Linux 8, the transparency problem described here seems to be fixed. The problem document I attached now displays correctly; I haven't checked the others.
Set to new and change the target
I can reproduce the bug in a 2.3.1 on my notebook with a Suse 10.1 It works correct with a 2.0 Please have a look.

cl->thb: any chance for a fix? I' mean, its also a SUSE error? ,-)
accepting issue.
Retargetting due to resource constraints
Ah, disregard the previous statement - I believe this issue is fixed, don't see it in current 2.4.1 ooo-build versions nor in canvas05.
@cgu: could you verify this, please?

You are right. It works correct now on my notebook.
