Ok Powerpoint online, how come these two lines have the same font type and size?

#PowerpointOnline #DesignFail
ok , in what is user journey does this style template makes any sense?

(note I'm going to use this thread to capture Design Issues I find in Powerpoint online so that my team at Glasswall doesn't make the same mistakes)
Another usability #fail case study
Stuck at the end of the slide ...

...I'm a good user of technology and I can't figure this out...
Why????

Can somebody send a code sample of this to Microsoft?

Also from a usability point of view: Don't show an menu option if it not possible to use it
ok where is the most important shortcut in any editor ?

"Paste with no Formatting"
ok so apparently it is not possible to edit the master side on the online editor

Here is a post asking for it from Sep 2018 answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice…

What has the team been doing since?
ok where is the 'Ignore all the time' or 'add word to spellchecker' option?
Ok how is it possible that a FIFO Undo queue is able to restore items in the wrong order? (and lose some changes?)

normal undo = FIFO = "First In First Out"

PPT online = FIamFOiaa = "First In and maybe First Out if at all"
Tip: When editing a text box and wanting to 'escape' edit mode, a good shortcut to use is the 'Esc' key

Just saying ....
Ok, when the 'editing UI' doesn't look the same as the 'presentation UI' (and the 'thumbnail view'), I really lose trust in the platform

WHAT!!! Just noticed from the attached pictures that the problem is that the FONTs are different?

WTF is the user journey on this one?
on the topic of using different fonts in edit and presentation modes:

"As a user I want to have two different fonts, one when 'Editing the Powerpoint Deck' and one when 'Seeing the Deck in presentation mode' "

Said no user .... ever....
It polite to remember user actions, after closing the (quite interesting) 'Designer/ideas' right navigation (by clicking on the X button), I really don't want to see it again

This seems to happen every time I copy and paste an image into a slide
Here is a good example of lack of technology and design leadership in this product

Features like the 'Powerpoint Designer' were added (which must have taken TONS of time and resources) before the basics (see this thread)
