Issue 119459

I'm checking this defect.

Configuration:
Windows 7 Enterprise with
Service Pack 1
OpenOffice 3.4.0 Build: 9590 -
Rev: 1325589
MS Office 2012

Status: Reproducible. I was able to reproduce the bug on my configuration.

Sequence:
1. Open the attached file in
OpenOffice
2. Go to File -> Save AS
3. Save the document in .ppt
format
4. Select “Keep current format”
in the dialog box warning of slide containing incompatible objects
5. Close OpenOffice
6. Open the file in MS Office
RESULT: Drawn arrows in the file are not in their original place.

I made the following follow-up tests with an aim to get to the critical condition of the failure:

Test1:
1. Create a new Impress
presentation.
2. Insert one “connector” type line
2. Go to File -> Save AS
3. Save the document in .ppt
format
4. Select “Keep current format”
in the dialog box warning of slide containing incompatible objects
5. Close OpenOffice
6. Open the file in MS Office
RESULT: Drawn line in the file is not in original place.

Test2:
1. Create a new Impress
presentation.
2. Insert one “arrow” type line
2. Go to File -> Save AS
3. Save the document in .ppt
format
4. Select “Keep current format”
in the dialog box warning of slide containing incompatible objects
5. Close OpenOffice
6. Open the file in MS Office
RESULT: Drawn arrow in the file is in original place.

Test3:
1. Create a new Impress
presentation.
2. Insert one “rectangle” type
line, one “line” type line, one circle
2. Go to File -> Save AS
3. Save the document in .ppt format
4. Select “Keep current format”
in the dialog box warning of slide containing incompatible objects
5. Close OpenOffice
6. Open the file in MS Office
RESULT: All drawn symbols are in original place.

Test4:
1. Create a new Impress presentation.
2. Insert many “connector” type line. Remember where they start and end.
3. Save the document in .ppt format
4. Select “Keep current format” in the dialog box warning of slide containing incompatible objects
5. Close OpenOffice
6. Open the file in MS Office
RESULT: All drawn symbols start and end in original place but the place from where they turn are different.

Test5:
1. Create a new Impress
presentation.
2. Insert many “Curve” type
line
3. Save the document in .ppt
format
4. Select “Keep current format”
in the dialog box warning of slide containing incompatible objects
5. Close OpenOffice
6. Open the file in MS Office
RESULT: Curve type line does not appear.

Summary:
It seems that OpenOffice is not able to save Connector type lines so that MS Office is able to place them in the original position - start, end points are the same but the place where the connector turns is different.
Curve type line does not appear at all – this is a different type of error.

Speculation:
Connector type line - This might not be a bug as the start, end points are the same. How the connector turns might be something that is determined by the application itself - maybe it is not saved in the file, maybe it is not part of the file format.
Curve type line error – this is might be due to the curve being a „OpenOffice“ specific feature not supported by the file format or MS Office.

root cause:
when the connector has a angle, the connector has been rotate, and the start point and end point of connector changed, so position display incorrectly.

Configuration:
Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 3
OpenOffice 3.4.0
Build: 9590 - Rev:1327774
MS Office 2003
In my configuration,the result seems some different.
the curve connector can be appear, but not same as original file.
and the standrad type connector has the same problem.
however, the line type connector display correctly.

Created attachment 78398 [details]
patch for ppt export connector position display incorrect

solution :
function PPTWriter::ImplWritePage() in "\sd\source\filter\eppt\epptso.cxx"
in branch else if ( mType == "drawing.Connector" ),
the connector shape which has a angle should not be rotated, because the start point and end point of connector is fixed value.so the var "mnAngle" is always set to zero.

ALG: Good catch, of course the angle should be zeroed for connectors. Added, built and tested, works well. I also see no hindrances for this patch.
Comitted with r1352102, thanks for the patch!

Verified pass with AOO trunk r1374181.
