Thin vertical black line on display

Post by Deblee »

After completing a presentation for class, which looked fine on each individual slide, when I run the slide show there is a thin vertical black line running through every slide, slightly to left of centre. I've run the presentation on my laptop (Dell Inspiron) and my tablet/2-in-1 (also a Dell inspiron). It was also displayed on a class computer, a desktop PC, but the resolution was low (1024xsomething) and when that was adjusted back to normal, the line no longer displayed. The laptops are both set to normal (ie high) resolution and changing the resolution had no affect. Has anyone had this problem? (LibreOffice problem - in OpenOffice there is still a vertical line, same place, but only 5 cms long just below the middle of the screen).

Can you upload a small example file (with 2-3 slides?)

(Maybe it is a display driver related problem...)

Thank you for replying. I meant to attach a screen print , I have now. There is only one. The black line is identical on all slides. Thank you for your help.

I opened your attachement. There is not any black lines with my AOO 4.1.1 nor with LibreOffice 4.2.8, nor with LO437 portable, nor with LO5.0.0 portable version on Win7prof 64bit, HP Compaq LA2405wg monitor and onboard GPU.

What is the resolution of your screen? There were reports of OO having trouble with very high resolutions (from memory 2560)

It is worth verifying with manufacturer's site that you have the latest screen drivers.
