Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 70440
Crash when creating new presentation with wizard
Last modified: 2006-10-17 02:33:58 UTC
Start OOo, ensure that no document is opened (i.e. no default Writer document for example, as some distribs still do). Click on File - New - Presentation Choose "From template", select "Presentations" from the drop down menu, and then "Introducing a new product", and press Next Choose a slide design and then press Next Select any slide transition effect from the list OOo promptly crashes. No file recovery is proposed even though the crash reporter starts. 100% Reproducible on Windows XP, Linux Debian Sarge, FreeBSD 6.1 Alex

Also confirmed on Ubuntu 6.06, Mandriva 2006 Further info : if the preview box is unticked the problem doesn't occur. This reminds me of a previous bug that we used to have with screen transition effects that used to cause Impress to die (can't remember in which version that one occurred right now) It also begs the question of whether the sanity tests are really appropriate, since this kind of bug should've been easy to detect.
