Impress doesn't show bullets in .odp format 1.0-1.2 files

[Mantas Kriaučiūnas]

Fixed in upcoming OOo 2.4.3

Binary package hint: openoffice.org

OpenOffice.org 2.x Impress doesn't show bullets in OpenDocument 1.0-1.2 format (.odp) files. In all OOo versions prior to OOo 3.0 beta2 bullets in Impress where exported in a non valid OpenDocument Format. This was fixed in OOo 3.0 beta2 which only exports valid OpenDocument Format. Those files will not show bullets in any OOo version older than 3.0 beta, including OOo 2.x and OOo 1.x as they expect a non valid format.

This bug is reported in OOo Issue Tracker: http://openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=91466

"According to OOo developers the problem here is that one can not have both, bullets in old version *and* valid ODF documents. The only fix would be to fix the old 2.x version"

I'm suggesting to fix this bug in OOo 2.4.1, which is in Ubuntu 8.04 LTS (for example by writing an extension for OOo 2.4.1 to support both - non-valid ODP files from OOo 2.x and valid files from OOo 3.x).

Mantas Kriaučiūnas, this issue is unreproducible in Ubuntu 1104, LibreOffice Impress via the Terminal:

cd ~/Desktop && wget https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/286405/+attachment/2137286/+files/1.odp && loimpress -nologo 1.odp

notice bullets. Does this work for you?
