Single Slide Problem reproducer for slideshow with multiple effects applied to a single object

LibreOffice 3.5.2 on Ubuntu 11.10 AMD64

I have a Powerpoint 2007 pptx than uses an animation sequence with multiple animation effects applied to a single object. The object disappears (Effect exit fly out) and then re-appears (Effect Entrance Fly in). This does not display correctly in Impress Slideshow.

I have attached a one slide PPT 2007 pptx that reproduces the problem.

Here is the description:

To reproduce, create a PPT 2007 pptx, add a slide, add a text box, Custom Animations, Add exit effect floy out, Add entrance effect fly in.

The reproducer shows:

TextBox with Two animation effects applied (Exit Flyout and Entrance Flyin)

In PPT, Open, Slideshow, slide appears showing Text Box, hit next
First Effect- Text Box Exits (fly out), hit next
Second Effect – Text Box Entrance (fly in)

In Impress, Open, Slideshow, slide appears not showing Text Box, hit next
First Effect - Nothing happens – Text Box is not visible, hit next
Second Effect - TextBox Entrance (fly in)

Apologies for not having gotten around fixing this bug yet; unfortunately in future I'll have even less time at my disposal for this, so I'm freeing up ownership for other volunteers to take over.

This makes interworking with professional MS Office PPT users virtually impossible. Very embarrassing for me in one recent situation. Impress has been improving, but there are still far too many bugs. Hope this one will be fixed soon...

Works beautifully for me on Win 7 64-bit 4.3.2.2 and today's 4.4.0.0 dev build.

Also beautiful for me with LO 4.2.7.1 - Ubuntu 12.04 x86

All animations played well, same as with WPS office 2014
