Online activity

- Attila
- Finished: PPTX: text renders horizontally instead of vertically
151102 – FILEOPEN PPTX: text renders horizontally (and condensed) instead of vertically - Working on: PPTX display placeholder in slideshow
159258 – A picture placeholder with a background, imported from PPTX, is not shown when presenting
Still tracing the problem, looks like no drawshape is generated for this case, but seems to be fixable, because if bitmap is present, the rectangle is filled too (under the bitmap).
