[email protected] changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |katherine_arnold@progressiv | |e.com --- Comment #5 from [email protected] --- I was able to reproduce this bug using a HP 840 laptop with Windows 7 and Open Office 4.1.2 . Process to reproduce the bug: Test one : 1. Create an empty presentation in Open Office Impress 2. Select the Notes tab – first slide will be displayed 3. Create another slide – second slide will display in the main screen as well as in the slide panel. Keep second slide highlighted. 4. Open another Open Office Document ( Selected Writer) and then switch back to IMPRESS. The first slide is now highlighted in the slide panel and the first slide is displayed in the main screen. 5. Closed Writer and reselect slide two and opened another Open Office document ( Open Office Math selected) the first slide is now highlighted in the slide panel and the first slide is displayed in the main screen. 6. I repeated step five with Open Office Draw . The first slide is now highlighted in the slide panel and the first slide is displayed in the main screen. 7. I repeated step five with Open Office CALC but had a slightly different result . The first slide is now highlighted in the slide panel and the second slide is displayed in the main screen. 8. I did not repeat step five with Open Office Base as I don’t have permissions to set up on my work machine. 9. I replicated step 5 with Microsoft office Excel, PowerPoint and Publisher and Open office stayed on slide two both in the main screen and the slide panel. Test two I replicated the test but selected the Normal tab rather than the Notes tab. I added a second slide and left it highlighted. Then I switched to Writer and then switched back to IMPRESS. Slide two continued to be highlighted. I repeated this step with MATH, CALC, and DRAW and in each case Impress stayed on the highlighted slide. Test three using a different system Microsoft PowerPoint 2010 1. Open Microsoft PowerPoint 2010 2. Access the View Tab in the top tool bar and select Notes Page. First slide will be displayed 3. Create another slide – second slide will display in the main screen as well as in the slide panel. Keep second slide highlighted. 4. Open another Microsoft Office Document (Selected Word) and then switch back to PowerPoint. The second slide is still highlighted in the slide panel and displayed in the main screen. 5. Closed Word and left slide two highlighted and opened another Microsoft Office document (Selected Word). The second slide is still highlighted in the slide panel and displayed in the main screen. 6. I repeated step five using Microsoft Office Publisher. The second slide is still highlighted in the slide panel and displayed in the main screen. 7. I repeated step five with Microsoft Office OneNote. In Microsoft Power Point the second slide is still highlighted in the slide panel and displayed in the main screen. 8. I replicated step 5 with OPEN Office MATH, DRAW, WRITER and CALC. The second slide is still highlighted in the slide panel and displayed in the main screen. Test Four 1. Create an empty presentation in Open Office Impress 2. Select the Notes tab – first slide will be displayed 3. Create another slide – second slide will display in the main screen as well as in the slide panel , Keep slide two highlighted. 4. Switch to the Normal tab and then switch back to Notes Tab. The second slide continues to be highlighted. Switch an open document in Microsoft Word 2010 and then back to Notes Tab in IMPRESS. Now the first slide is highlighted. This result did not display if I went from the Notes tab to Microsoft Word 2010 and then back to notes. 5. Keeping slide two highlighted switch to the Outline tab and then switch back to Notes Tab. The second slide continues to be highlighted. Switch an open document in Microsoft Word 2010 and then back to Notes Tab in IMPRESS. The second slide is still highlighted . Switch to the Normal tab, then back to Notes tab, then to Microsoft Word 2010 and back to the Notes Tab in IMPRESS. The second slide continues to be high lighted 6. Keeping slide two highlighted switch to the Handout tab and then switch back to Notes Tab. The first slide is now highlighted in the slide panel and the first slide is displayed in the main screen. 7. Keeping slide two highlighted switch to the Slide Sorter tab and then switch back to Notes Tab. The first slide is now highlighted in the slide panel and the first slide is displayed in the main screen. Research : 1. In Bugzilla a. I found two other unconfirmed similar issues. i. 125707. The poster indicates that Impress jumps back to 1st Slide when they click the slide pane background. ii. Issue 125013 - After entering speaker notes on one slide, clicking on next slide in left pane scrolls back to first or second slide in the presentation b. Found confirmed issue 101221 that replicated the issue I encountered with the slide sorter jumping back to the first slide. c. Found confirmed similar issue 126653. The poster states: The Slide Pane jumps to the top unexpectedly when I click in the margin between two slides. 2. OpenOffice Forum has three posts which speak to the issue with one poster suggesting the use of the current version of LibreOffice ( a competitor) as a possible alternative as the poster has not encountered the issue in LibreOffice while he has had the issue with OpenOffice. 3. I looked for similar complaints on the internet for the OpenOffice competitor, LibreOffice and did not locate any that pertained to the bug referred to in this report. This issue speaks more to a design issue bug than a code bug. I was able to confirm that the bug that was reported in the 4.1.1 version continued into the 4.1.2 version. I was also able to test the bug in Microsoft PowerPoint and verified the bug does not trigger in that product. The posters who commented on the issue find it a time waster and an annoyance which points to being inconsistent with the user expectations. User of the program who are creating a large number of slides and have to reference information outside of Open Office to complete their work will find the constant jump back to the first slide expensive in the sense of time lost and could possibly do as one poster suggest and abandon the product for another . -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the issue.
