Description rogerwesson 2008-12-04 19:06:38 UTC

In the document available at http://www.star.ucl.ac.uk/~rwesson/wolas.odp, I am
trying to change the background in all slides.  Clicking "yes" when asked
"background settings for all pages?" either results in nothing at all happening,
or only a couple of page backgrounds changing.

Reproducible. Also happens in 3.o final. Reassigned.

Comment 2 groucho266 2008-12-05 09:25:58 UTC

This is not really a bug, at least not in Impress.

Changing the background for all slides works only when the background of the
(one) master page is used by all slides.  In the bug doc, however, most, if not
all, slides have set individual backgrounds.  These backgrounds all map to the
same bitmap and the user easily gets the impression that changing one background
should result in a change to all other backgrounds that show the same bitmap. 
If every slide would show a different bitmap it would become clearer: the master
page background is obscured.  Changing it as described above does not have any
effect.

The only way to fix this is to modify the document.  Reset the backgrounds of
all slides to None and set only the master page to the desired background bitmap.

Comment 3 rogerwesson 2008-12-05 15:42:58 UTC

Is this really not a bug?  Whether I am choosing a bitmap, or a fill colour, or
a gradient, or whatever, then answering yes to "Background setting for all
pages?" does not apply the background setting to all pages.  This seems like
undesirable behaviour, and is very counterintuitive.  If individually editing
each slide is really the only way to have a single background throughout this
presentation, then that's really very inconvenient.

Since the bugdoc is no longer abailable I can only guess that the document had
multiple master slides. In this case this issue is fixed with issue 109210
