Can't re-dock Slides pane
Last modified: 2013-08-07 15:21:02 UTC
There's no way (or it's unclear how to) re-dock the Slides pane once undocked. I was expecting this to follow the UI of the Tasks pane which includes a 'View" menu with a "Dock Task Pane" command. To Reproduce: 1. Use an existing presentation or create a new one. 2. Select menu View:Slide Pane to make the slide pane visible. 3. un-dock the Slides pane if currently docked by drag and drop in the slide pane title bar (click and drag on the word "Slides" until the pane undocks.) 4. Slide panel will remain undocked for this user across presentations and application restarts. There is no apparent mechanism to re-dock the Slide pane.

On Windows you have to use ctrl-doubleclick. Try the equivalent in Linux. Does it work?

Reproducible, reassigned.
