Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 89969
Incorrect autoshape dimensions on powerpoint import
Last modified: 2013-08-07 15:20:06 UTC
I've had a user complain to me about several of his slides importing strangely when trying to open native PowerPoint (2003) documents in Impress. I verified the issue on both 2.4.0 and 3.0 Beta, and was also able to reproduce a minimal test case using the offending component. It appears to be an autoshape with a simple drop shadow. In PowerPoint, the test case renders as a rectangle with rounded corners, and fits nicely within the center of the page. When OOo renders the same image, it turns into a thin band that goes vertically offscreen and is too thin. This same distortion is viewed repeatedly in my user's files with the same type of shape being at fault. I have the test case freely available; I'm hoping the bug tracker will let me attach it. If not, I'll have to link it externally or send by request.

Reproducible. Reassigned.
