Issue 109918

Sorry, I cannot reprodduce any of your problems. Which OS do you use? Could you
attach a document with which you have the problems?

As I was telling you, they are not _real_ problems, more quirks or little
annoyances, that anyway I am reporting to try help the quality and perception of
the software (as a matter of fact they were first indicated to me by a friend
who I convinced to switch to openoffice).

In any case:

my os is ubuntu 9.10 64 bits (using the official openoffice and not the ubuntu
build that is a bit buggy).

I will try to distill from docs that I have some little examples showing the
issue and post them here as attachments in the next few days.

Configurations:

Dell Latitude D620
WinXP SP3
1gb Ram

Sony Vaio VGN-NW238F
Windows 7, 64 bit
4gb Ram

Tested the 3 issues on WinXP and Win7 64 bit to see if they occur on other OS's.

Issue #1- Upon opening odp, the initial slide is drastically zoomed out.

This appeared to occur randomly on WinXP (twice at 13% zoom, minimum of 30
attempts on both configs), but did not occur on Win7 64 bit. No pattern detected
in the two occurrences.


Issue #2- Upon opening presentation, it takes minutes for the zoom slider (lower
right) to appear.

Unable to replicate this behavior on either system. Question for
sergiocallegari: Does this seem to happen while several programs are open, or
after working in Impress for a long time?


Issue #3- Optimal Zoom behaves as if the slide contains objects outside of the
presentation boundary.

Unable to replicate as described, but there may be conditions that appear to
replicate the behavior. Some things to check when the problem occurs:

-If using the Zoom button on the top toolbar (as opposed to clicking View, then
Zoom), is the Zoom Button still displaying the Optimal Zoom icon? If not,
reselect Optimal Zoom to try again.

-When using Ctrl + A to select all, does the number of "draw objects selected"
in the lower left match the number of visible objects on the slide? If not,
select a text box or photo on the slide, then use Tab to cycle through all of
the slide objects. This should reveal if there is a previously-invisible object
outside of the slide boundary (e.g. a seemingly empty text box etc).

Depending on the slide position when you hit Ctrl + A, or if Impress is not
maximized, it may first appear that only objects within the slide boundary are
selected, but upon checking the entire area via the Tab test above, you may find
that a stray\invisible object exists outside of the slide boundary. This could
affect the Optimal Zoom.

Question for sergiocallegari: Is your friend who initially reported the issues
also running Ubuntu 9.10 64 bits, or another OS?

Hi,

I will make the required tests as soon as possible.

For now, I can anticipate the following considerations:

1) Point 1 is indeed quite frequent.

2) Point 2 tends to happen only with very large presentations.  I wonder if it
can be related with the time needed to create the anti-aliased miniatures to
appear on the left pane.

3) Point 3 tends to happen quite erratically and I still have not been able to
find a predictable pattern.  The only thing that I am noticing is that it tends
to happen most often when using documents originally made with previous versions
of OO.

4) All the issues were found on Ubuntu 9.10 either 32 or 64 bit, yet not using
the ubuntu version of openoffice (which is buggy), but the one downloaded from
openoffice.org.

In the last days, I have tried to pack a small example capable of reproducing
the issues. Unfortunately, whenever I try to make a new or a small presentation,
it works fine.  If I cannot succeed in creating a small sample file, I will ask
to privately send a large existing presentation to someone who can look into the
issue.

Environment:
 - Dell Insprion 1564
 - Intel i3 330M
 - 4GB Ram 
 - Windows 7 64bits

Tests: 
 1) I was unable to replicate this bug on my environment, most likely because my 
machine runs Win7 64bits, as epqa commented.

 2) I was unable to replicate this bug. I tried running many programs on my 
laptop, but still the slider appears right away. This one may be performance 
dependent. 

 3) I was unable to replicate this bug. I tried with MS Office 2007 files and 
some old OO files, containing text boxes, figures and images. I couldn't detect 
any bug with the zoom and select all tools.

Maybe these bugs are platform dependent or very hard to replicate, if you have 
an example file or more specific guidelines I would be happy to try them on my 
platform.

You can download Apache OpenOffice 3.4.1 from http://www.openoffice.org/download

Please report back the outcome of your testing, so this Issue may be closed or
progressed as necessary - otherwise the issue may be Resolved as Invalid in the
future.

Testing on Mac OS X version 10.7.5 to see if the issue is present here
OpenOffice 4.0.1

1) When you open a presentation, very often the initial screen shows the initial
slide at a 7% zoom or something like that, with the entire screen entry and the
slide the side of a dot in the middle of the screen. You need to zoom in to 100%
to actually see the slide... why?
--Unable to reproduce

2) When you open a presentation it often takes a few minutes (minutes, not
seconds) for the zoom slider in the bottom right corner to appear.
--Unable to reproduce

3) When you ask impress to zoom a slide to the optimal zoom, quite often OO
zooms to a wrong zoom level, as if the slide contained objects outside the page,
when in fact select->all indicates that there are no such objects.  This most
often happens when you have text boxes on the page.  When it happens, often
there are text boxes that are "hard to select" (i.e. clicking on them you do not
get the handles, and you need to select a wide region containing the text box to
actually select it).
--Unable to reproduce

I was able to successfully replicate one of the results using Windows 7 Enterprise (SP1).  

2) Upon opening a .pptx file it took over three minutes for the zoom tool to successfully load. I did find that once I had opened a file using Impress, that subsequently closing and reopening the program resulted in no loading delay for the zoom bar.
