--- Comment #19 from Roger <73w3sz at gmail.com> ---
This bug is still present with LibreOffice Impress versions 5.3.6.1 (x64) and
5.4.1.2 (32 bit) as of October 4, 2017, both running on Windows 10.

I was embarrassed to have someone to whom I had highly recommended LibreOffice
Impress call me to tell me that this bug appeared during a presentation he was
giving.  He was using 5.4.1.2 on Windows 10 32 bit.

Because he was using white colored font with black highlighting for emphasis of
certain portions of his text (with a light-colored slide background), the
"highlighted" text was essentially invisible due to the lack of highlighting.

Because of this incident he is not happy with LibreOffice, and is not happy
with me for recommending it as strongly as I did (I was unaware of this issue
until he pointed it out to me when he called to express his displeasure with my
recommendation).

The highlighting looked fine when he was creating the slides, and it looked
fine in the pdf file he created, but it did not work at the one time it needed
to work (and would be expected to work), during his presentation.

After his call I tested the functionality of text highlighting here and sure
enough the highlighting still does not work during actual presentations, which
after all is the one time it should work.  However, everything looks OK with
the highlighting both during slide creation and when pdf files are printed. I
am using 5.3.6.1 x64 version on Windows 10 64 bit.

The bug was first documented at least 2 years ago.  This seems like the sort of
bug that would have been jumped on and corrected quickly when it was first
reported.

Except for this issue, I have had no complaints from folks to whom I have
strongly recommended LibreOffice over a period of several years, and I have
been very happy with LibreOffice as I had not previously done any text
highlighting of this sort on my slides.
