Hi René,

Ha, you're very quick answering to bug reports!

_If_ that fixes it - I think that still would need testing on a couple
of test cases from this bug.

Hm, not _too_ bad regarding size, I feared worse when you said 'quite big'

Oh, all right, I had missed that, thanks. Pity I only found the bug today.
Any chance to get it in later, as rcX, perhaps?

You might consider upgrading it to "critical" with time, as it has the
potential to cause data loss (admittedly, it's PowerPoint doing the
losing when you re-save from there, because you think it's already
gone). There's probably no point trying to rush it into the main
release, though, as it does look like a non-trivial fix.

Cheers,
Karsten
