transparency rendering problem in presentations

[Aurelien Naldi]

Binary package hint: openoffice.org

I have an OOo impress presentation using some transparency (to have a gradient as background in the master pages). In edit mode it renders fine but does not work in presentation mode: every partially transparent item is completely hidden (i.e. white background). The pdf export is OK.

Changing the rendering options (use of openGL and hardware accel) does not help.
The templates provided with the ubuntu package have the same problem.

It happens on an up to date feisty, both on a G5 (ATI graphic card) and a P4 (intel chip) so it is probably not related to the video drivers.

Same thing happens to me (fully updated Feisty system, running inside a VirtualBox, being hosted by a Win2K, with an Intel 945GM).

Two details:

- It doesn't matter if the object with the gradient is in the master slides or in the normal ones: when you go to presentation, full screen mode, it shows not gradient at all.

- The object is still there: if it has a full color border, and a gradient fill, in presentation mode I only see the border.

I have this problem, too, running on fully patched 7.10. I tried installing the sun official 2.3.0 and 2.3.1 debs in place of the ubuntu version, but this also failed to show anything in place of the transparency (no gradient fill, no objects, for example arrows, on top of gradients). As Facundo points out, I can see the border, but not the transparent fill.

I'm using the nvidia drivers, with no desktop effects.

Happy to provide any more info.
