Deleted text reappears after save/reload - worked example provided
Last modified: 2017-05-20 11:08:21 UTC
In some circumstances, Impress fails to save deletions properly, because having deleted text from the presentation, it reappears after saving the presentation and reloading it. For example, try this: 1. download http://www.aaa.net.au/campbell/BeautifulPhotos.odp 2. open it in Impress and you can see that each slide has a picture with a text box over the top - the text isn't part of the photos 3. there are some performance problems editing the text in the document as reported in http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=85551 but ignore those for now 4. on any of the slides, try clicking three times on the text and then highlighting all the text with CTRL-A, then pressing delete so that the text goes away 5. now save the presentation 6. close it 7. load it back in Actual Result: I find that the deleted text is BACK after save/load even though I had deleted the text. Workaround: I find that if instead of pressing delete to delete the text, I press SPACE after highlighting the text, then this issue doesn't occur.
Set to new and change the target.
I can reproduce the bug. When I delete the text in the textbox but not the textbox itself the text reappears after saving and reload. As a workarround delete the textbox and not only the content of the textbox.
