Moving a "movie" inside a slide is painfully slow.

[Leandro]

Binary package hint: openoffice.org

Moving a small movie is painfully slow, apparently because of the
routines that try to put a frame of the movie in the slide. Moving
images is not bad in my case.

Screencast attached.

Can you please attach an example document showing this issue?

Here it goes. You will probably have to reinsert the movie, which I'm sending separatelly.

In Ubuntu 10.10 opened file via libreoffice-impress using the Terminal:

cd ~/Desktop && wget https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/457141/+attachment/864966/+files/test.odp && soffice -impress test.odp

Dragged and dropped the embedded file from one side of the template to the other instantly.

Leandro, does LibreOffice Impress work for you?

[Leandro (leandromartinez98)]

Incomplete? Nice. What a beautiful example of bug handling. Two years ago the bug is posted, and confirmed. Ignored for two years. Nothing is done. Then it is asked for the bug reporter to try another software.

The bug does not occur on MSOffice, so I think we can consider it fixed.

I'm sorry for the sarcasm, but two years ago I was proudly reporting every bug I found, and this is the kind of answer I systematically got. I'm not a professional Linux/Ubuntu supporter, but as a programmer I know that testing new versions of the software do not solve previous bugs if those were not specifically addressed.

Thanks for your efforts, I hope things continue to evolve, because as a professional linux user I need all this working fine. But clearly reporting bug is not the best way to help.

Leandro, regarding your comments:

> Incomplete? Nice. What a beautiful example of bug handling. Two years ago the bug is posted, and confirmed. Ignored for two years. Nothing is done.

Bug reporting is a two way street, and not, "set it and forget it". No upstream link was posted, you could have done that. BTW, I am a volunteer who recently (few weeks ago) started working with OOo and LibreOffice bugs on Launchpad.

> Then it is asked for the bug reporter to try another software.

LibreOffice 3.3.1 in it's current form is OOo 3.3.1 rebranded with a few updates and enhancements, as the sources are 90%+ the same. That is why it was suggested.

> The bug does not occur on MSOffice, so I think we can consider it fixed.

Done.

> I'm sorry for the sarcasm

Honestly, I think your sarcasm is funny because I've been there! :D

> but two years ago I was proudly reporting every bug I found

Your welcome to continue reporting bugs, if OOo or LibreOffice bugs are found, I'll be glad to try to reproduce them.

> and this is the kind of answer I systematically got. I'm not a professional Linux/Ubuntu supporter, but as a programmer I know that testing new versions of the software do not solve previous bugs if those were not specifically addressed.

It doesn't hurt to test for for this bug being addressed, in software that has gone from OOo 3.1.1 to LibreOffice 3.3.1, a monumental update. There are countless examples on Launchpad where someone's bug did get addressed in OOo by updating to LibreOffice.

Thanks for your efforts, I hope things continue to evolve, because as a professional linux user I need all this working fine. But clearly reporting bug is not the best way to help.

> If your a professional linux user it is clear this is not MSFT, anonymously report the problem, forget about it, and if one is within a statistical anomoly the issue may get addressed. This is in full view of the world, feel free to take advantage by taking a more active approach to bug reporting! :D
