Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 125911
Impress constantly losing which page it is on

Any time the cursor loses focus, the chances are high that impress is going to jump back to the first slide. This occurs in a wide variety of circumstances, including: Autosave runs while paused during typing text, the cursor will have lost focus and the slide with jump back to the first slide. When switching between the slide view and the notes view, if there is not text selected in the current view, then switching views will jump back to the first slide. For example, if I am viewing slide 45 in slide view, and I want to add to the notes, if I simply click on the notes view button, I find myself viewing the notes for slide 1 instead of slide 45. Same going the other direction. If the cursor is not explicitly positioned on text in the current view, changing views jumps back to the first slide. This is EXTREMELY annoying. I spend 2/3rds my editing time simply returning from slide 1 to the slide I'm trying to edit!!
This seems to be very similar to issue number 125013
Environment details: OpenOffice 4.1.1 AOO411m6(Build:9775) - Rev. 16176692014-08-13 09:06:54 (Mi, 13 Aug 2014) Windows 7 64 bit, Dell latitude E7440 @ intel core i5, 1920x1080 display, 8GB ram Despite the fact that I was able to replicate the issue of switching between slides and notes view causing to jump to the fist slide, I was not able to replicate the part of losing cursor’s focus and jumping to the first slide during autosave. Steps to reproduce which I tried: 1. Autosave is enabled. 2. Go to Normal or outline or notes view and start editing the slide (or note for the note view) by entering some more text; 3. Stop editing and wait till autosave kicks in -> you can see the quick status change on the bottom info bar. Expected failure: Cursor loses its focus and first slide is selected and displayed. Actual result: Editing field remains active and cursor is in the same place and state where as before the saving action. For the scenario above, I also tried following variations: a) different autosave duration configurations (1, 2, 5, 10 minutes); b) different amount of slides (5, 10, 20, 40); c) varied the selected slide where text was entered; d) varied the different file formats (odp, ppt); e) also instead of waiting for autosave in the step 3, I tried to save the document manually by key combination (ctrl+s, dedicated save button on the toolbar and on the file menu). Please note that the issue of switching between slides and notes view seems indeed to be related to issues 125013, 125708, 125707.
