Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 114583
Adding new
Last modified: 2016-09-30 16:21:50 UTC
When I insert a new slide, the text entered when I click "enter text" is not in the same place as in my first slide. One would assume text entered when "enter text" is pressed appears in the same place as in the previous slide but this does does not appear to be the case and this can only be be adjusted manually. I believe it to be in the best interest of the software that text appears in the same spot for any new slide (before formatted), not to mention the the most intuitive option. A quick run down: 1. Create new impress from template (chose background etc), write text for first page 2. new slide: enter text (ok) 3. new slide: enter text. Text appers in another section of the page and can only be moved manually (the entire content inserted). Text does not start from the same place as slide 2. No using backspace to move the text further up. I'm very sorry if this is already reported. I'm a big fan of open source SW, but reporting this to start with requires more know-how than any average+ user of computers can be expected to have.
Testing OOo 3.2.1 on Fedora Linux 13 Following your description, I'm not seeing any problem with text position from one slide to the next. Such an alignement problem could depend on several details that are not clear from your description: What template did your choose? What slide layout(s) did you choose? What text did you enter? What alignment do you expect (left edge, center, vertical position?), and what do you see that's different from what you expected? How are you viewing the slides when they are misaligned, in the full-screen slide show, or on the editing window? If you can attach a sample presentation that demonstrates the problem, that would help answer some of the questions.
Please give a detailed step by step description.
Without providing detailed step by step description it is impossible to reproduce the bug that text is not on the same place as in the first slide. I have check each layout (12) and that bug has not happened (DEV300m106 (OOo-Dev 3.4.0 and Win XP SP3). I have only noticed that if the slide has "Title slide" layout and you choose the option "New slide" created new slide has "Title, Content" layout, but this is expected functionality, not a bug. The reporter must provide answers to the questions posted by jes, otherwise this issue can be discarded.

Reproduced original reporter's observations using OOo-Dev 3.4.0 DEV300m106 (Build:9582) on Windows 7 OS. Three attachments include: * Bug114583Demo.odp * ImpressTitleSlideDefault.PNG * PPTTitleSlideDefault.PNG Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create New Presentation (File> New> Presentation) 2. Use Empty presentation and click Create button 3. The first slide defaults to Title slide layout. (See ImpressTitleSlideDefault.PNG or expand Layouts in righthand pane) 4. Enter text at prompt in the bottom text box. Default text position is centered both horizontally and vertically. (See first slide in Bug114583Demo.odp). 5. Create new slide (Insert> Slide) 6. Second (and subsequent) slides default to Slide, Content layout. (See layouts menu in righthand pane to confirm). 7. Enter text at prompt in the bottom text box. Default text is a left-justified bullet list at the top of the text box. (See second slide in Bug114583Demo.odp). Follow-up tests: I saw the same behaviors when I chose a Blue Border Presentation background. PowerPoint 2007 and Impress behave consistently in that the first slide layout defaults to Title Slide lyout and subsequent slides to bulleted lists. However, the Title slide layout in Impress is INCONSISTENT with PowerPoint 2007. See PPTTitleSlideDefault.PNG and ImpressTitleSlideDefault.PNG to compare. PPT users switching to OOo may be startled by this inconsistency. Because this happens in the first two slides of a new presentation, it is likely to be one of their earliest impressions of Impress.
Tested and replicated in Ooo-dev 3.3.0 build 9567, Windows 7 Ult 64 bit After opening a new presentation, the first default slide it the “Title Slide” option. This slide shows the bottom text in the center. After selecting a new slide, the program defaults to the “Title, Content” slide. This is inconsistent with the other options however. To reproduce the error: 1. Open a new Presentation and start with an empty presentation and select create 2. Default first slide is the “Title Slide” 3. After entering text (it appears in the center of the box due to the nature of the slide), select a new slide without the new slide type. 4. It will default to the “Title, Content” slide. On the options, change this new slide to a “Title Slide” also. 5. Repeat step 3 and it will add in a new “Title, Content” slide. This is an error because all of the other slide types will by default add a new slide of their same type in, for example a “Title and 2 Content” adds in a new “Title and 2 Content” slide after text is inputted and a new slide is selected. Follow up tested included selecting all of the different slides to see if any of them replicated the same behavior of the “Title Slide” but none of them do. The error probably lays in the way Presentation handles the default values of a presentation. The program assumes after a title slide a content slide will come next, so it places one by default.
