[upstream] Creating a new slide by double click not working correctly

[Rüdiger Kupper]

Version: 6.1.3.2
Build-ID: libreoffice-6.1.3.2-snap1

You can create new slides in impress by double clicking on the empty part of the slides pane (below the existing slide). However, this works only as expected while the slides pane actually has empty space at the bottom.

As soon as I have created a few slides, the slides pane is completely filled, and two things happen:

(1) Improvement: It is very hard to double click on the thin white space at the bottom of the filled slides pane. This could be improved by always letting a few pixels at the bottom to click on.

(2) Bug: You can actually manage to double click there and this creates a new slide. However, this new slide is not filed at the end of slides (as it should) but appears at a strange location somewhere in the middle of slides. This is definitely wrong.

I don't know if the bug is related to the snap. Probably not.

[Olivier Tilloy (osomon)]

This is not a snap-specific issue, indeed. Would you mind filing an upstream bug report at https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=LibreOffice&format=guided and sharing the link to that bug report here? Thanks!

Description:
Version: 6.1.3.2
Build-ID: libreoffice-6.1.3.2-snap1

You can create new slides in impress by double clicking on the empty part of the slides pane (below the existing slide). However, this works only as expected while the slides pane actually has empty space at the bottom.

As soon as I have created a few slides, the slides pane is completely filled, and two things happen:

(1) Improvement: It is very hard to double click on the thin white space at the bottom of the filled slides pane. This could be improved by always letting a few pixels at the bottom to click on.

(2) Bug: You can actually manage to double click there and this creates a new slide. However, this new slide is not filed at the end of slides (as it should) but appears at a strange location somewhere in the middle of slides. This is definitely wrong.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create new slides until the slides pane is filled.
2. Observe that there's almost no (just very thin) space at the bottom of slides pane to click at.
3. Try to create another slide by double-clicking on that (very thin) space.

Actual Results:
The new slide is created not at the end of slides, but somewhere in the middle.

Expected Results:
The new slide is created at the end of slides.

Reproducible: Always

User Profile Reset: No

OpenGL enabled: Yes

        SlideSorter: insert new slide on double-click.

        Previously inserting a new slide required using a context menu
        (via right-click) or the main menu-bar. It is now possible
        to insert a blank slide by double-clicking in an empty area
        of the slide sorter.

As for improvement, that's welcome.
As for bug, I don't understand it. To me it looks like new slide is created at the end. Anyway, it's the same as the previous one, so how could you tell the difference.

[Ruediger-kupper+bugzilla (ruediger-kupper+bugzilla)]

No, you can easily tell where the new slide is created, simply by tying defferent text into the existing slides (suggestion: Type "1" into slide 1, "2" into slide 2, etc.). If you do so, you will find that as soon as the existing slides fill the side bar, the new slide will be created at an unexpected position.

I just tested it again (Version: 6.3.3.2.0+), and new slides consistently appear at position #8 (although I have more than 10 slides). That's definitiely the wrong place. Try it.

The bug is still present in the described form in:

Version: 7.6.4.1 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 60(Build:1)
CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 6.5; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: de-DE (de_DE.utf8); UI: de-DE
Ubuntu package version: 4:7.6.4-0ubuntu0.23.10.1
Calc: threaded

[Rüdiger Kupper (ruediger.kupper)]

As to the position where the new slide ist created (if you manage to double-click on the empty space at the bottom), it appears to be below the currently selected slide. This does not happen, if the slides pane is not yet filled and has enough free space at the bottom: then new slides are always created at the bottom.
