Bug Description

When using libreoffice gradients show up fine in edit mode, but not in the slide show. I have tried downgrading to libreoffice 5.1 using the debs on the libreoffice official website but to no avail. Sometimes the gradients show up but distorted on other occasiones the colours do not show at all. This problem started when I upgraded from Lubuntu 16.04 to 16.10. As I use Impress a lot I'm currently downgrading back to 16.04. Screen shows edit mode. Looks like I can only attach one file I'll attach the sideshow mode screen shot to another message.

Richard Pinnell, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better.

Is this issue reproducible in your current 16.04 install if you use the latest upstream supported version of LibreOffice as per https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice ?

Hi Christopher okay I've done as you suggested, and no problem gradients work fine. I think the problem could be to do with the intel graphics firmware, as when I was on 16:10 there was some message about intel firmware (don't recall exactly). I tried to sort that out, but I couldn't get the drivers. Regards

Everything works fine, and indeed all versions of Libreoffice work fine with Ubuntu 16.04 The problem presents itself when upgrading to Lubuntu 16.10. Unfortunately as I need my computer for work, and I regularly use Libreoffice impress so I can't upgrade to 16.10 to test. Regards
