Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 60174
Animated text loops one extra time in Preview mode
Last modified: 2013-08-07 15:21:02 UTC
1. Create a new presentation, add a "Title, text" slide. 2. Set "Title" as Title, "This text should loop once" as Text. 3. Right click on the Text, Text... -> Text Animation -> Effect: Scroll Through, Direction: Right, check "Text visible when exiting", Animation cycles: 1, Pixels: 6 pixels 4. Switch to Outline mode, then back to Normal mode to refresh the preview. Expected: Text loops once. Actual: Text loops twice. From further tests, it seems that if you set N cycles, you will get N+1 cycles in preview mode. [Reported by Elio Marchetti during Italian QA tests]
confirmed on Windows XP Pro SP2 with OOo 2.0.1
Reassigned.
I can reproduce the bug. Please have a look.
AW: Yes, there is some mix-up here. Problem is that when activating 'Text visible when exiting' internally auto-enables 'Start Inside', too. So the text first scrolls from start inside to out, then loops once and then scrolls to it's 'Text visible when exiting' position. So the error is more the auto-activate of the 'Start Inside'. Anyways, those definitions need some rework. Accepting as prio4, resolve later.
AW: Added primitive tag
Found fixed in 3.4.1.
