OO2.0 incompatibilites between Normal and Slide Show View

While Impress has improved a lot, things that are ok in Normal View still don't show up right in Slide Show View. Is this already well known or is there somebody interested in a small sample file (both ppt and odp)?

How about a simple .odp and a screenshot of the problem?

Some of the problems appear only during animation, so a simple image wouldn't suffice, while some could, in fact, be shown in an image, although they are easier to see by merely comparing the Normal View (where then don't appear) and Slide Show (where they do appaear). The file size is less then 300 KB, but how and where can I submit this file?[/img]

Maybe you can jsut give us more details of what exactly doesn't look good enough...

I just noticed such a problem with gradients: When one uses a gradient between two very similar colors, they are rendered with much more steps in the normal view than in the slide show view.

Test it for yourself. Just open impress 2.0 and draw a large rectangle. Fill it with a gradient between white and gray (20%). In the normal view it looks good and in the slide show view, you can clearly see the bands.

In case you have a cheep monitor it doesn't matter, but then you can still take screenshots of both views and enhance the contrast of these images in the GIMP. Then you can count the color bands.
