Unwanted double bullet in SmartArts lists

Hey!

I'm using PPT on Mac (v. 15.28) end after the last update all bulleted list in my SmartArts objects have double bullet (see attached picture).

All other lists (text boxes, slide bodies) are normal.
As long as you cannot (according to MS support) customize list styles for SmartArts, I have no clue where to go to fix it...

Have anyone faced this issue?

I'm guessing you actually have version 2016 (not 2011)?

This is a bug in version 15.28 and 15.29. MSFT are aware of it but I would send them a "Frown" from the ribbon to add to the complaints. There is no fix except to go back to 15.27 but even then if you send it to someone with a later version they will (probably) see the double bullets.

yes, it's 2016, but there was no "2016 on Mac" option in profile settings. Updated it to "2016" to avoid confusion (not sure if it's two different products — Win and Mac versions of Office 2016).

just for my interest: how do you know they're aware?

will send them this "Frown" thing, thank you for advice!
