Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 124741
Slide will be inserted in wrong place when try to insert it in latter slides(with vertical scrollbar)
Last modified: 2017-05-20 10:45:07 UTC
Steps: 1. Create several slides which can activate vertical scrollbar in Slides window, for example, 8 slides in my Win 7 - see step 1.jpg 2. Click slide 6 (slide 6 is selected, scrollbar moves down) - see step2.jpg 3. Put mouse on the blank area between slide 5 and slide 6, then right click Actual result: see result.jpg 1. Slide 1 is selected incorrectly 2. Slide 5 gets activated incorrectly 3. Right click menu(New Slide) displays over the slide 5, then the new slide will be inserted between slide 4 and slide 5 wrongly Expected result: 1. Slide 6 is selected 2. Draw a black line in the position between slide 5 and slide 6, to show you where the slide will be added 3. Right click menu(New Slide) displays in the blank area between slide 5 and slide 6, the new slide will be inserted between slide 5 and slide 6 Root cause: Whichever the slide is selected, when you click/right click in the Slides window(thumbnail tray), the focus will go to slide 1 (slide 1 is selected) incorrectly. Note: it's a regression from AOO4.0.1

Could be connected to bug 123197. Is this still reproducible in the RC4 (or at least RC3)?
Confirmed with AOO410m17(Build:9763) - Rev. 1586584 2014-04-11 09:13 - Linux x86_64 Debian
It is very inconvenient and frustrates user, propose to be a show stopper if the risk of fix can be contained.
I agree that it is not nice but for me it is no showstopper but a normal issue. Yes it is a regression but again it is not serious. We have no data loss and it can be easy workarounded. We even don't know if it is often used. Otherwise I am wondering why we detect it so late. The related code changes were probably made in February and the issue was already in the Beta. When you click on a slide and insert a new slide via the context menu it works. I would fix it asap on trunk and take into account if others more serious issues are found.
Created attachment 83276 [details] Allow empty selection in PageSelector::UpdateCurrentPage This is a fix for the problem at hand. It may, however, be too simple and break something else.
I applied the patch to my local trunk development environment and it worked for me. Nevertheless, I would not 'stop our 4.1 release show' for this issue as its severity is not high enough from my point of view.
