While using Impress, the style of text boxes with “None” transparency are overridden with the transparency property of the overall style. This change is not apparent while using Impress, but when the presentation is saved, closed, and re-opened, it is apparent that the text box’s “None” transparency has been overridden.

To Reproduce
Open a new Impress presentation (no template). Create a textbox with text and a background color (something you can see against the white background. Green, for instance). Set Transparency to “None”. Observe, save, close, re-open, observe. There should be no change; all is working as expected. Then Edit the style to set the style transparency as “gradient”. Note that the textbox changes style. Edit the textbox to set the transparency back to “none”. Note that everything looks as expected. Save, close, re-open, and observe that the transparency of the textbox has been overridden to the style transparency of “gradient” [This is the bug]
Put simply: If the style setting for transparency is set to something other than “None,” any textbox in that presentation cannot have a style setting of “None”. While it appears to be working normally while the program is running, the bug is apparent when the user saves, closes, and re-opens the presentation.
