            //add first slide of inPres to outPres using the first layout of outPres            
            outPres.getSlides().addClone(inPres.getSlides().get_Item(0),outPres.getLayoutSlides().get_Item(0));
            outPres.save(dataDir + "out.pptx", SaveFormat.Pptx);            

        }
        catch( Exception e){
            System.out.println("Error  Exception in code: "+e.getMessage());

    }
}

Hi, I think there’s a bug in ISlideCollection.addClone
see attached files
out.pptx has a duplicated shape in rather than the correct text place holder (with an svg background)

resetting the layout of slide1 in out.pptx in PowerPoint will produce the result I was expecting
(and is what happens if you manually do the operation in powerpoint via cut an paste use destination theme)
