Reassigned to Christian.

I can't reproduce the first Part of the issue. Corresponding to the
values of before/After Text the format of the text is ok.

The second part of this issue is a feature. 
- We should check if the inserted values in Before/After Text are
possible.

I send this issue to you because in my mind is the second part of the
issue a feature and not a bug.

I did some follow-up testing and found an issue related to this 
situation. Here are the steps that I took to reproduce this 
situation and expose the issue:

1. Create a New Empty Presentation

2. Within the Modify Slide option Screen, chose to use the "Title 
Slide" auto layout. Press Ok.

3. There are two possible fields to enter text: "Click to add 
title", and "Click to add text". We proceed to enter 0123456789 in 
both fields.

You will notice that you are able to click outside each field and 
return to them normally.

4. Click the "Click to add Title" field, and highlight(select) the 
text. Go to  Format->Paragraph and insert value 10.00" in both after 
indent and before indent fields. Press ok.

The text isn't formatted appropiately and dissapears. If you click 
outside the field which at the moment is visible, you will notice 
that when you try and return to it you will not be able to because 
it seems the field has dissapeared as well. I tried clicking on the 
space the field used to be was unable to find it. 

If you try "selecting" a much larger area where the field was in you 
will be able to find the field. If you return the after/before 
indent values of this field to 0.00" you will once again be able to 
see the text 0123456789 in the center of the field.

5. Click the "Click to add text" field. Highlight text within, go to 
Format->Paragraph and insert value 10.00" in both after indent and 
before indent fields.

The same issue is present in this field.

To grep the issues easier via "requirements" I put the issues currently lying on
my owner to the owner "requirements". 

Still finding this occurrence in formatting 10 years later. I conducted the same tests that user almohamedh did and found the same results.
