Bug ID: 105320
Summary: Dragging (reordering) slides on the Slides pane
deletes slides instead
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 5.2.3.3 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: critical
Priority: medium
Component: Impress
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: octa...@alvarezp.org
Description:
Dragging (reordering) slides on the Slides pane causes data loss.
I present a consistent case where dragging to the bottom in a new presentation
always erases the slide.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. New presentation
2. Type "A" as the title of the initial slide. To get out of typing mode, click
on the slide but outside of the title box.
3. On the Slides pane, right-click in the initial slide and choose New Slide.
4. Type "B" as the title of the newly created slide. To get out of typing mode,
click on the slide but outside of the title box.
5. On the Slides pane, drag slide 1 below slide 2.
Actual Results:
Slide 1 gets deleted.
Expected Results:
Slide 1 should become the second slide.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
Note how the "Undo" button refers to the action as "Delete Slide".
Also, note that if you get out of the title boxes using the Escape key after
typing in step 4, this problem does not occur.
I'm marking this as critical because when the presentation already has many
slides, it may be difficult to notice that the slide got deleted. The user
would continue to work --happened to me-- thinking that the slide was properly
reordered, which means that recovering the slide means having to go through
Undo History, undoing any work done afterwards and having to be extra careful
of not making any accidental modification *at all* to the presentation. Any
accidental modification to the presentation means losing the redo history, and
losing the work the user had to undo to recover the lost slide.
For practical purposes I am classifying this as "data loss".
