Hi.

I found the following Draw/Impress bug in StarOffice 8 Product Update 7:

Steps to reproduce:

1. open a blank Draw or Impress document

2. hold down the left-mouse-button over (lmb)  "Slide 1" in the Page Pane

- be fast, DON'T WAIT more than about 0,5s before doing step 3 -

3. move the cursor below Slide 1

4. hold down CTRL (while the lmb is still hold down): Note the pointer-icon gets
a "+" which indicates the user that a copy will be built

5. release the lmb: There is no copy of the sheet.

-----------------

The correct way for copying Slides and drawing objects it to wait more than the
about 0,5s between step 2 and 3 while not moving the mouse.

The bug with the +pointer only happens for Slides, not for objects.

-----------------

First I thought the solution is to not show the +pointer if the user does not
wait the 0,5s.

But after thinking more, I think the delay makes no sense for dragging slides:

For dragging objects it IS needed, because CTRL-key has 2 functions:

1. if the user waits the 0,5s: CTRL is used to copy objects

2. if the user does not wait the 0,5s: CTRL suppresses snap-to-grid, for
fine-possitioning


But for dragging slides no fine positioning is possible.

So I think differentiating between two dragging-modes does not make sense for
slides.

So the solution for this bug is - in my opinion - when dragging slides to
initiate the dragging mode with the pointer-icon that shows a rectangle
INSTANTLY after holding down the lmb.
A second dragging mode after waiting should not be available.
