I think I have replicated this, but I don't think that what I see is a bug, or
if we call it a bug, not a bug that is within the reasonable control of the OOo
team.

Configuration: Dell Precision M6300 1920x1200 display, Windows XP, OOo-dev 3.2.0
DEV300m55, antialiasing turned off

(1) download file prueba.odp from the attachments above
(2) Set zoom to variable so the slide is scaled to fit within the window
(3) Scale the window (make it small, see small.jpg, make it bigger, see
medium.jpg, make it bigger, see large.jpg)
(4) The slide should show vertical and horizontal lines that are styled as two
relatively lightweight parallel lines. Instead, at different scalings, some of
the horizontals or verticals are displayed as one thick black line rather than
two thinner parallel lines separated by whitespace. This looks like the same
distortion identified in attachment: Tue Sep 1 09:50:00 +0000 2009:
presentation_mode_1280x800.jpg

I see this kind of distortion when resizing windows in other applications. The
display algorithm has a rounding error (I assume) and fills in the space between
the lines. Given that I see this in other applications (Adobe Premiere for
example), I assume this is a minor bug in a library routine used by OOo and many
other applications, or perhaps in libraries provided with Windows. 

The usual workaround is to display the window at a resolution that is an even
multiple of the resolution at which the slide was created, so that we aren't
attempting to draw, for example, a 3-pixel wide area into a 2-pixel or 5-pixel
area. Drawing those half-pixels is a nuisance. Similarly, the height should
probably be multiplied by the same amount as the width.

Maybe my intuition about cause is incorrect but the workaround does appear to
work for these slides on my machine.
