[Issue 124653] New: Single slide selection moves slides around or copies some

https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=124653

          Issue ID: 124653
        Issue Type: DEFECT
           Summary: Single slide selection moves slides around or copies
                    some
           Product: Impress
           Version: 4.1.0-beta
          Hardware: Mac
                OS: Mac OSX, 10.9
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: critical
          Priority: P3
         Component: ui
          Assignee: issues@openoffice.apache.org
          Reporter: JohnEvans@us.ibm.com

I have this problem in AOO 4.01 and 4.1 beta - AOO410m14(Build:9760)  -  Rev.
1573601 2014-03-03 17:49:03 (Mon, 03 Mar 2014) and in LibreOffice (if you
care). I don't know about Symphony 3 as most files I open there are crashing
that app.

When I click on a slide, it often (maybe half the times) changes the order of
the slides.  Often it will copy the slide and rearrange them. I can never be
sure of the order of the slides. Usually the file was imported as PPT or PPTX.

It seems to happen mostly with Powerpoint files that I open in AOO, either
4.0.1 or 4.1 beta. I worked with a presentation of about 30 slides yesterday
that I created in AOO and don't recall having problems. However, when I'm
working in Powerpoint files that I open, it is almost unusable as I'm never
sure that the slides have stayed in order or one has been duplicated and the
order changes. Note also that I'm on a Mac.

I do not have an FTP server with anonymous access.  May I have an email address
of the person who will download the files please?

I've tried very hard to simply click on each slide as I select the one I want
to look at. I don't believe I'm doing enough movement when I click on a slide
to drag & drop it. I'm attaching two presentations, one is the original,
mfc_20140407.ppt and the second, mfc_3014_bug.ppt. I carefully clicked on a few
slides; now slide 10 has become slide 8. I'm not sure which slide I actually
clicked on when I noticed the shift, but I'm sure I didn't move enough to move
slide 8 to its new position as slide 10.

@John: Is it possible that you involuntarily active drag&drop when you click on
a slide?

(Christian Legget  - 14th June 2014)

Thankyou for your efforts in establishing the reproduction steps so far, I have
been investigating this on my own environment, without success, namely:

4.1.0(AOO410m18(Build:9764)  -  Rev. 1589052
2014-04-22 11:43:54 (Di, 22 Apr 2014))
on a Win8 Dell Studio XPS 1647 (no Apple kit available)

and 4.0.1 AOO401m5(Build:9714)  -  Rev. 1524958
2013-09-20 11:40:29 (Fr, 20 Sep 2013)
on a Win8 Dell XPS 15 

To aid reproduction I inserted a text label with self-identifying data (eg a
slide reference number) in order to validate, no removal/insertion/deletion
took place, when slides were clicked, when I ran with different slide templates
(but empty presentation template) and different slide
views(outline/notes/handout etcc)

Using a competitor product (Office Pro Plus 32 bit 2010 on same Dell Studio XPS
WIn8), loading an identical file (pre import to Impress), the slides keep the
prescribed order. As they do when creating the same style/layout content into
an ODP file.

John - can I trouble you, with asking for a little bit more information?
1-Confirm which Apple Mac product you are using
2-Which version of Powerpoint are you using?
3-Add a reference video (or link to) that captures the problem, so the
transition and slide sequence shift can be observed – eg using Jing or perhaps
your camera phone
4-Could you also include screenshots from Tools>Options/Impress for all 4
categories
5-Could you confirm which slide view you are using
(outline/notes/handout/slideshow) when clicking
6-Could all text be selected when the clicking is taking place and the
promotion/demotion/slide hide attributes be selected?
7-As per your last comment on 30th May, which “template” were you using in PPT
8-When the content is added to the slide, is there any other presentation
element activity performed (font selection/font size/alignment/indentation)?
9-Could you compress/zip an ODP file that fails for you (Just Edwin has the
samples provided)
10-Do you have another device available with Impress installed, to try your ODP
and PPT files on?

Thankyou

Today I started with a template that was created in Powerpoint PPT, but had
only two slides, at title page with a picture and a second sample page with
sample text. I'm still having the same problem with it moving slides and making
copies. Again, I'm on a Mac and most of the pages have screenshots and maybe a
little text.

I'm working in a file that was originally created in MS Powerpoint and saved in
pptx format. I was clicking on slides and now have a copy of slide 17 as slide
12. I don't know how to give you steps to reproduce this problem as it is
random, but I believe it happens on pptx files originally created in MS
Powerpoint. I can usually tell when it happens, but undo doesn't fix it.  I
have to reload and not save changes. If I were editing the file, this looses
any changes since the last save. If I didn't create the original file, it is
hard to know what has changed. This problem makes using AOO, frustrating and
questionable.

Hi Christian, thanks for working on this problem. As a developer myself, I know
that finding and fixing non-reproducable bugs is next to impossible. I'll try
to answer and help.

1. Apache OpenOffice 4.1.0 AOO410m18(Build:9764) - Rev 1589052
2. I didn't create the PPT or PPTX; it happens on both. It seems to happen in
all the powerpoint files I receive to workn on.
3. I tried to use Jing to do that, but it isn't repeatable such that I can do
certain steps and it happens.  That would be best of course.
4.
5. I almost always use Normal View
6. I don't beleve anything is selected.
7. Custom templetes; I don't know who created them.
8. I don't believe anything is selected usually.

I just opened a file which I'm viewing as a ppt file.  I used the down arrow to
view several of the first slides.  Then I scrolled to what is now slide 13
(slide with two people) and clicked on it.  Then I scrolled to slide 27 an
clicked on it. Then I scrolled to slide 12 and clicked on it and slide 27
jumped before 12. I thought I was typing in this form, but was still in AOO and
inserted a slide between the two (original 12 and moved in 12); deleted it. 
Then trying to determine which where the moved slide was originally, I scrolled
and clicked on a slide 26 and the moved slide moved back before where I clicked
(it was originally after it).  After saving the result file for you, I tried to
open the original file.  AOO showed no recent files and open was disabled.  I
clicked on a slide and the options became available again. I'll try to make
both files available to you and send you access.  You'll get an invitation from
IBM Connections.

Unless we find and fix this bug, I'll have to switch to Powerpoint 2014 when it
is out soon, struggling till then.
