Bug Description

1) lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu Trusty Tahr (development branch)
Release: 14.04

2) apt-cache policy libreoffice-impress
libreoffice-impress:
  Installed: 1:4.2.3~rc2-0ubuntu1
  Candidate: 1:4.2.3~rc2-0ubuntu1
  Version table:
 *** 1:4.2.3~rc2-0ubuntu1 0
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

3) What is expected to happen via a terminal:
cd ~/Desktop && wget https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/1303567/+attachment/4072202/+files/test_impress_vintage_14.04.odp && loimpress --nologo test_impress_vintage_14.04.odp

is the slide look exactly the same in editing mode, as it does when in Slide Show (F5).

4) What happens instead is in Slide Show it looks like the background color changes to white, and the red ribbon in the top right changes color to black.

The background doesn't change color if one converts the file to PPT and opens in Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2003 (11.5529.8179) via WINE.

By file assume you mean an actual file rather than a Image of the of the issue.
Actually I can tell you I had this issue on a file I already had created. But I did test the issue by creating a completely empty file with the Vintage slide and the issue remained.
I did also try some other slides, which seemed fine.

But if you like I can attach a New file of say several blank vintage slides?

Sample Impress file

Problem description:
Using the Vintage slide in Presentations, looks OK in normal editing mode. But in full presentation the Vintage look formatting is mostly lost (Colour etc)

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create pres with Vintage slides
2. View as slideshow
3. ....

Current behavior: Vintage look is lost

Expected behavior: Slides should look the same in editing mode and full pres.

Operating System: Ubuntu
Version: 4.2.3.1 rc

Fills with transparency fail to show up in presentation

This slide has a faux timeline at the bottom that is basically two rectangles with gradient fills and transparency. I have been using this slide with earlier versions of Impress for about 2 years, with no problems. Now that I've moved to 4.3.1.2 it suddenly doesn't display properly. I have about 500 slides for a workshop I am giving, and I have had the same problem with about a dozen other slides as well.

The issue reported in comment 0 has been investigated on bug 72988, so closing in favour of that.

I don't see any problem in 4.4.0.2 with the file attached for the apparently separate issue of comment 2, but if there is then a separate bug should be raised (one bug per report please)
