  1. Is the above issue still exist?. Kindly confirm the release version.

A purchase of Aspose.Slides includes a subscription which entitles you to one year of product updates. When the year has passed you are still licensed to use to the product so your existing applications that use Aspose will continue to function but to download and use further updates to the product you first have to renew your subscription.

We do not guarantee that the issues you find will be resolved within that year or any other timeframe, but our developers do their best to resolve them as quickly as possible, taking into account the priority of issues and the roadmap. You can also increase the priority of tasks by contacting Paid Support.

Thanks for your concern. We also tested the presentation document with the latest Aspose v24.4
However, all the problems we reported so far is still persist in the latest version.
