Actually this is not a defect. When you have a look at the filling in PPT the preview box shows it correct (and like it is displayed in OOo)as a 4 corner gradient. But the drawing view shows it as a radial gradient. OOo displays it in the correct way: as a four corner gradient. The problem here is that PPT has not enough filling types. Setting this to enhancement.
