--- Comment #19 from jkfi...@iupui.edu --- This bug can still be reproduced in a current build. I have used the following configuration: Apache OpenOffice 4.0.1; AOO401m5(Build:9714) - Rev. 1524958 Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit, Service Pack 1 Intel Core 2 Duo T6600 2.20 GHz, 4GB RAM Test 1 Set-up: The instructions in Comment 17 are spot-on. I did not find a simpler means of replication. Result: The screen flashes black for an instant, I briefly notice a blank dialog box, and Impress crashes. Some follow-up tests... Test 2 Set-up: 1. New empty presentation. 2. Create just one slide. 3. Slide Show -> Hide Slide OR Click Hide-Slide button under Slide Pane sidebar 4. Play slide show via... a. F5 -> no result, as expected b. Slide Show -> Slide Show is disabled, as expected Result: Functionality is as expected; the slide show does not start because the only slide is hidden. Test 3 Set-up: 1. New empty presentation. 2. Create two slides. 3. Hide Slide 1 through either the Hide-Slide button or Slide Show menu. 4. Do not hide Slide 2. 4. Make Slide 1 visible in the main window. 5. Play slide show (not custom slide show) via F5 or the Slide Show menu. Result: The presentation starts with Slide 1 (the hidden slide). I believe this behavior would be unexpected to the user. By comparison, with the same starting configuration, Microsoft Powerpoint 2010 will start the presentation with the first non-hidden slide when you press F5. It also seems inconsistent with Test 2: In that test, Slide 1 was also visible in the main window, yet Impress would not play the slide show with the hidden slide. Test 4: Variant of Test 3 with custom slide show Set-up: 1. Repeat steps 1-4 of Test 3 2. Go to menu Slide Show -> Custom Slide Show... 3. Click button "New... " 4. Add Slides 1 and 2 to the Selected Slides pane, and press OK. 5. Check "Use Custom Slide Show" 6. Press "Close" button 7. Start the presentation via the "Start" button, F5, or the Slide Show menu. Result: Only Slide 2 is displayed in the presentation. The result is the same whether Slide 1 or Slide 2 is selected when the presentation starts. This behavior is as expected, but it does seem inconsistent with the result of Test 3. Overall: There does not seem to be a bug dependency on how many slides are in the custom slide show; they just all must be hidden, and you must use a custom slide show to initiate the crash. Impact: There is the potential for the loss of unsaved work, which would be troublesome for many users. However, users would not be likely to run a custom slide show with all hidden slides frequently, so the overall impact is probably minimal. Another risk is a delay when presenting to professional colleagues or clients. The results of Test 3 could allow attendees to view information that the presenter did not intend to share. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
