Impress: master slides doesn't keep background gradient

Impress.

I change the master slide gradient to the colours I want and it loses them upon saving the file.

Why?

Works here.

A hint: I wrote the above as a sample of an “answer” that lacks useful information, just as the question itself. I should had mentioned the version of LibreOffice I used; my OS; and the file format. Also I could provide sample screenshots…

Are you just trying to be awkward or just a prat?
