Hi Astron,

[Keeping this just the UX-advise list.]

 So, you read until here, possible solutions that we could explore:
 
 #1 Have the overlay appear permanently on the currently active slide
 PRO: touch-friendly, not too flashy, expectable
 CON: interactions will be much slower, because you have to click every
 slide before being able to use it.

[...]

 Of all those, I slightly favour #1, but really not by much. Hope that
 helps in any way.

I particularly like #1 too.  In order to address the need to click -
what if the buttons were next to each slide, but faded for the
non-selected slides?

Thank you,
Kendy

Hi Ivan,

Terribly sorry for the belated answer.

 So can I use your sign-off for reverting

 on the libreoffice-3-6 branch?

Yes, if Astron says it should go, you have my sign-off too :-) - I am
not personally attached to that code.  It was an attempt to fix the
behavior when the button appears under the mouse just at the very moment
you try to click the slide to select that that annoyed some people too.

  As a makeshift fix, would it be possible to make the overlay appear
  half/a quarter of a second later?
 
 Sure, the corresponding constant is Theme_ButtonFadeInDelay in
 sd/source/ui/slidesorter/inc/view/SlsTheme.hxx
 Feel free to push patches. :)

Maybe a short-term solution would be not to increase the the timer, but
actually decrease it?  Ie. let the buttons appear immediately when you
enter the slide in the slidesorter?  That would let the user to position
the mouse carefully to avoid clicking what she does not want to click.

All the best,
Kendy
