[Bug 119369] New: Impress 3.4 Animation Compatibility Issue with
.ppt and Impress 3.3
https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=119369
Priority: P3
Bug ID: 119369
Assignee: ooo-issues@incubator.apache.org
Summary: Impress 3.4 Animation Compatibility Issue with .ppt
and Impress 3.3
Severity: normal
Issue Type: DEFECT
Classification: Application
OS: Windows XP
Reporter: billrohde@msn.com
Hardware: PC
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: version58
Component: open-import
Product: presentation
An Impress document created with 3.3 and saved as a .ppt does not correctly
display some animations under 3.4. This is just one more of many cases of
Impress incompatibilty with .ppt, however in this case there is a larger
problem because it worked wtih Impress 3.3, so clearly an incompatibility was
introduced with the 3.4 release.
Attached is the .ppt which shows the problem. In slide mode display and click
through the annimations for slides 15 and 23 using both 3.3 and 3.4 and you'll
see the compatibility problem with 3.4.
Incidentally, 3.3 also had many compatibility issues with .ppt. When I created
a presentation file for use with Impress, .ppt with Windows, and .ppt with Mac,
I spent days testing and "dumbing down" my presentation animations so that the
presentation would work on all platforms with both Impress and .PPT. It appears
that this area of OO has been very poorly tested.

I already tried to send the attachment twice. I think it's too large (just
under 15 Meg) for your bugzilla input system to handle. Can you give me an
email address to send it to? I promise to delete and forget that email address
after using it.

Currently maxattachment size is 1000 kB

Can you create a new document with only slides 15 to 23? Does this shorten the
file size?

Created attachment 77590
--> https://issues.apache.org/ooo/attachment.cgi?id=77590&action=edit
.ppt file that doesn't display two annimations correctly in 3.4 -- see above
description of problem
Per your request I've included only the two offending slides. When I removed
all other slides, the slide deck was still 8Meg. I then removed the backlground
theme bitmap and that shortened things up. The problem still occurs. View the
two slides with 3.3 and then with 3.4 and you'll see the difference/problem.
btw - this is just one of many many problems in Impress handling of .ppt
annimations, however this one is particularly serious as your own 3.4 isn't
even compatible with 3.3. It took me days to get this presentation to work
compatibility across .ppt on Windows platforms and Macs and with Impress (I had
to iteratively "dumb down" the animations on numerous slides until things
finally did work), and now with 3.4 it no longer works correctly with Impress.
I hope the new attachment is helpful to you in narrowing down and fixing the
compatibility problem in 3.4. I also hope you can dedicate some resources to
more thoroughly testing .ppt animation compatibility with Impress - it needs
LOTS of work.

It looks like a bug of the text animations. Instead of showing the text
paragraph by paragraph the second half of the whole text is shown from the
beginning. (on the first slide)
I have seen something similar recently where bullets where involved. Have to
look that up.
