Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 105273
Slide Pane & Slide Sorter: annoying scrolling and selection behaviour
Last modified: 2013-08-07 15:20:06 UTC
An impress file should contain many slides (e.g. 40), each with a linked image (not embedded). In Slide Pane: - select slide 20 - scroll up to slide 1 (using mouse wheel) - wait 3 seconds and do nothing error: slide pane is scrolled back to slide 20 (and selection of slide 20 is blinking) In Slide Pane: - select slide 20 - scroll down to slide 30 (using mouse wheel) - wait 1 second and do nothing - try to scroll further down error: slide pane is scrolled back to slide 20 In Slide Sorter (4 slides per row): - slide 40 is already selected from normal view - scroll up to first row - wait 1-2 seconds and do nothing error: slide sorter is scrolled back to slide 40 In Slide Sorter: - slide 40 is already selected from normal view - select an other slide - wait 1-2 seconds and do nothing error: selection jumps back to slide 40 This behavior is not reproducible, if the images are embedded in the impress file. Maybe this issue has to do with issues 97757 and/or 101221. My system: Fedora 10 KDE 4.3.1 OOo 3.1.1 is from OOo homepage, not from fedora repository
I'm definitely seeing this as well on Windows XP SP3, OOo 3.1.1. The selected slide in the slide pane blinks roughly every second, and if a text area is selected in the editing panel, the text box blinks simultaneously with the slide pane. I don't see this behavior with small files, so maybe it's just for files with many slides and linked images.
I can reproduce the behavior if I get another window in the foreground after scrolling and then activating the impress window again. The pictures do not have to be linked.

Reproduced under Windows XP SP3, OOo 3.1.1 (310m19). Very, very annoying -- this bug is the reason I signed up for the issue tracker.
I have seen this behavior on Mac as well
I notice exactly the same thing as what was mentioned by the4thchild, but on Debian Testing, with openoffice 3.1.1 (310m19) : the slide pane blinks all the time and is synchronous with the text cursor if a text box is being edited. Is there any use of such a strange activity ? I would like to add that when I edit my presentation (50 slides with OLE objects from oodraw, mathematical formulas, linked images), the processor eats on average 50% of my CPU even if I don't touch the computer !
@owqcd: What happens, if you don't link the images, but embed them? Does it still eat your CPU?
> What happens, if you don't link the images, but embed them? Does it still eat your CPU? Thank you for the suggestion. The results is significant : I had a presentation with links to image files and to an odg document. * I first embeded the odg document -> no change (high CPU usage when user is idle, bad scrolling of the slide pane, strange blinking of the selected slide in the slide pane) * I then embeded all the remaining links -> the former annoying behaviors disappear, CPU usage goes to zero when user is idle. However, I want to make it clear that embeding things is not a solution for me. I need links because I use the same images in different documents. Links should be the right way. Note: The scrolling of the pane is still painful for this long document, but at least the bug above disappears. In think the smoothness of the scrolling of the pane must really be improved. We don't need to see so many details when scrolling quickly ! Smoothness is more important ! But this problem is another issue.
The "Scroll back to slide 20" issue seems to be a DUP of fixed Issue 107049. Any objections to mark this one as a DUP?
@rainerbielefeld: I will download OOO320_m7 and check, if the error disappeared.
@rainerbielefeld: In OOO320_m7 the error is still present. Is there an other download, which already contains the fix mentioned in Issue 107049?
Because of the more advanced status I will mar this one as DUP of Issue 107049. May be votes should be transferred to Issue 107049 Pls. feel free to reopen this issue if you find concrete indication that the problem in this issue differs from the one in Issue 107049 @julisys I also still see this problem, pls. see my comment in Issue 107049! *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 107049 ***
Issue 107049 does not mentioned linked images, isn't that the root of this problem (see owqcd Fri Nov 6 11:28:01 +0000 2009 above)?
@68omalley: You are right, the resulting problem is the same in Issue 107049, but the reason seems different. I can't reproduce the problem with sample for that issue and 3.2.0RC1, so it seems that THAT problem has been solved. I reopen this issue
I can reproduce the problem in OOO320_m8.
I believe this one is a DUP of Issue 107839 @julisys: Can you please check whether all problems are solved with the fix for OOo 3.2? *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 107839 ***
I downloaded OOo3.2rc5 (OOO320m12) and checked my test file. I can't find any error. The errors are solved. Great!!!
