--- Comment #4 from Kim Mongan <kim.mongan at googlemail.com> ---
You say that this bug report should be issued based.  I thought that is what
this is.  The issue is that a presentation is getting stored improperly.  For
example, when the presentation is stored in PPTX format the background of a
slide may become entirely different.  Or the slide with a video is completly
empty, not even a place holder for the video.
As already mentioned, each release seems to bring new problems.  I have been
using the product for years, recently the only format I could use was PPT. 
Storing in ODP Format corrupted my presentation - I had to redo it and store it
in PPT format.
The release I am working with now is correctly stored in ODP format, but
storing it in PPT or PPTX corrupts it.  Why PPT or PPTX - because many people
use Powerpoint and at least Powerpoint Viewer, and most do not have the ODP
patch.

So, please write exact steps to reproduce with source ODT attachment 151062
[details].
The steps are already listed below and presentations have been provided.  I
just did a test again.  Created a presentation with a slide with text and a
background (water picture), a second slide with a video.  Nothing more.
ODP - everything was fine. 32.330 KB
PPT - the text was fine, but just a video place holder and no video stored. 
324 KB
PPTX - the text was present, but shadow was gone, not even a video place holder
was present.  39 KB

Is this different from Bug 125023? Yes.

And confirm you searched for existing bugs before reporting. I do not know
where to start to look.  Also, this problem has been around for years so it
does not seem to be adressed.

A simple test like above shows that Libre Office is not storing documents
properly, worse yet, no error messages occur or indication that something is
wrong.  Users store there presentations, often hours of work, expecting to be
able to use them.  After storing and then calling them up again they find their
work corrupted at the least.  This is a major issue about the usability and
reliability of the product.

Thank you.
