Description cno 2010-03-09 10:28:48 UTC 
create new presentation
insert slide
go to first slide
click Slide transition on taks pane
choose automatically after
 > area Advance slide is greyed out
go to second slide
try the same
 > area Advance slide is greyed out

this behaviour changes for the second slide when you add another slide
or when you add a shape or so to the slide
Comment 1 cno 2010-03-09 10:29:21 UTC 
works fine in 3.2.0 > regression
Comment 2 wolframgarten 2010-03-09 11:56:21 UTC 
Sorry, not reproducible. I do not have anything greying out there..
Comment 3 cno 2010-03-09 13:35:10 UTC 
only reproducable with steps as written (or close to those)
Send you a video by mail ...
Comment 4 wolframgarten 2010-03-09 13:47:17 UTC 
Thanks for the video. Which OS are you on?
Comment 5 cno 2010-03-09 13:54:03 UTC 
sorry forgotten to set: Ubuntu 9.10
Comment 6 wolframgarten 2010-03-09 14:26:04 UTC 
Is there a preview when you assign a slide transition to a slide?
Comment 7 cno 2010-03-09 14:38:40 UTC 
no.
But when I add a shape to the 1st slide, I can set the transition.
But after that, when selecting By mouse click, the area greys out again ...
Comment 8 cno 2010-03-09 14:39:59 UTC 
( ... and when I set the transition, there is a preview )
Comment 9 joerg.skottke 2010-03-10 06:48:05 UTC 
I can confirm this in so far that - when applying the transition to the first
slide - all options below "Advance slide" are greyed with the button "slideshow"
as exception. The pane works correctly for the second slide though.

But: If i click on the first slide again on the "Slides pane" the options on the
"Advance slide" pane are reset to default (data loss). When trying to set the
automatic transition for the second time the pane behaves correctly - the
settings are remembered and the pane remains active.

So we have a somewhat random behavior here.

I used CWS ab76 (32bit) on Ubuntu 9.10 "Karmic" (64bit) for this and can provide
a test environment.

Changing target and owner.
Comment 13 clippka 2011-03-03 09:58:44 UTC 
I reviewed the code in question and found out that this may have been caused by the slides pane on the left returning an empty selection in some cases. Since this may be dendend on the focus in the past (focus in slide pane vs. slide pane) this also explains the 'random behaviour' that is described here.

Since the issue was reported, the slidesorter code has been reworked completly and this included the slide pane on the left.

I can not reproduce the issue and I'm very certain it was fixed with the slidesorter rework, somewhere around m86.

cl->wg: please verify that this issue is no longer reproducable
cl->cor: your feedback is also welcome
