Impress Slideshow Broke in 3.5.1.2

I updated from 3.5.0 to 3.5.1.2 with no upgrade install problems noted.
Edited a presentation - no problems.
Tried to run the slide show and got lots of problems - blank screen, distorted text, no images.

Tried uninstall and cleaned out leftover program files, registry, etc. Reinstalled clean and had the same problems.

Uninstalled and cleaned again and reinstalled 3.5.0 - now it works.

Looks like a broke in 3.5.1 (Needs a little better regression testing ???)
I saw nothing in the release notes that seems to be in this area.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

This is a bug with hardware acceleration in 3.5.1, if you disable it, the slideshows will work again.

Thanks khagaroth - that “fixed” it! Hope this is a reported bug. It doesn’t hurt on faster machines but I suspect those with slower configurations will see it.

fdo#46901 - SLIDESHOW shows characters too slim with Hardware Acceleration activated - cairo canvas used in error on windows (Status: RESOLVED FIXED, LO 3.5.3)

Was that a pptx file?

Yes, LibreOffice does need more QA people to test for regressions (and bugs in general).

All hands are welcome! See how to contribute at

No, it was not a pptx file - just plain old ordinary odf :slight_smile:

#4

Yes, I have noticed it was seriously broken between 3.5.0 and 3.5.1 and it’s not related at all to the file formats

#8

So, how do you disable hardware acceleration in 3.5.1? No options to do so in any of the menus available (options, settings, etc.). Slide show does not show slides!

#9

Under menu Tools, Options, choose on the left list LibreOffice, View, and on the top right corner Graphics Output un-select “Use hardware acceleration”

Thanks for the directions Pedro.
