Bug ID: 92921
Summary: Impress Custom Animation Default Text Grouping Off By
One
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 4.4.4.3 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Impress
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: dcoll...@superdan.net
In Impress, when applying an animation to a text element, the default grouping
is always one *less* than the paragraph level present in the text item. This
seems likely unintentional and undesired. Example:
- In Impress, select a text box with 2nd level paragraphs.
- In Custom Animation, click Add Effect (+)
- Click "OK" (default Entrance: Appear)
- Test the animation: text will appear by 1st level paragraph grouping.
- In Custom Animation, right-click element > Effect Options > Text Animation >
note it is currently listed as "By 2nd level paragraphs" (despite that not
actually happening).
- Now click on that same "By 2nd level paragraphs" in the drop-down menu, and
click "OK"
- Test the animation: text will now appear correctly by 2nd level paragraph
grouping.
Likewise: If you have only 1st level paragraphs, then all the text will appear
at once. Or if you have 3rd level paragraphs present, then the default is to
appear by 2nd level paragraphs. In each case, the default "Text Animation"
lists the lowest-level grouping, but the animation actually does one less than
that (until one manually clicks on the same lowest-level grouping for each
animation element). I'm taking a stab that this is some classic off-by-one
error.
I suppose that this is somewhat related to bug 48553, in that if the choice was
made to switch back to "one object" by default, then this bug would be
irrelevant. Personally I like defaulting to the lowest-level paragraph, as
shown in the default Text Animation -- but either way, the slideshow should not
perform one less level of grouping than shown in the drop-down UI on creation.
