            Bug ID: 136695
           Summary: Footer text in impress is wrapped inside words and
                    does not respect alignment directives
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.0.1.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Impress
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: sergio.callegari at gmail.com

Description:
If you use the "Footer" in Impress slides and the footer area in the slide is
not large enough to contain the whole footer, then the footer text is wrapped
onto multiple lines. However, the line wrapping, differently from any other
text element in Impress, gets applied by introducing line breaks /in the
middle/ of words. For instance:

Some example footer text that is so lo
ng that it takes multiple lines

Furthermore, alignment instructions applied to the footer area are not applied
to the footer text. In other words, in the master page you can set the footer
area so that it contains the <footer> label representing the footer text
aligned left, center, right, etc. Yet, when the footer is displayed on the
actual slides, this alignment is disregarded and the footer is always left
aligned. 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create new presentation
2. Go to master pages
3. Modify the "footer area" box so that it is not very large and it has some
alignment (e.g. center)
4. Close master pages and create a new slide
5. Go to Insert -> Header and Footer, activate the footer and type in a long
text.

Actual Results:
See that the footer text is broken in the middle of words and that it is
invariably left aligned.

Expected Results:
The footer text should be broken at word ending and the alignment should be
respected. Namely it should be possible to have a centerered, justified or
right aligned footer text.


Reproducible: Always
