Meike Mertsch <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #4 from Meike Mertsch <[email protected]> --- MM 2013/06/08: Summary: No evidence of this being a bug. I could replicate the behavior on Mac OS X 10.7.5 with Build Version AOO341m1(Build:9593) - Rev. 1372282 and with an old Build Version AOO330m20(Build:9567) The steps can be condensed to Precondition: any open slide deck Step: Check “Slide Show“ drop down in the Main Menu After reproducing the behavior and reading the comments, I did some research to determine if this is a bug or an enhancement request. 1) A search for “Animation Effect OpenOffice” led me to http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/OOo3_User_Guides/Impress_Guide/Using_slide_animation_effects which explains the usage of animation effects and always refers to the sidebar which pops up if you choose “Custom Animation” from the “Slide Show” drop down in the main menu. “Custom Animation” was ruled out by the original report but the difference is not clear and could actually be a mistake. 2) There is a window “Effect options” which can be opened by 1) Select any element on a slide in an open slide deck. 2) If custom animation sidebar is not yet open: Choose Slide Show -> Custom animation from the main menu 3) Click “Add…” in the custom animation sidebar 4) Choose any animation and confirm with clicking “OK” 5) While having selected the same element, click on the button “Effect options” which is marked with “…”. (see also http://presentationsoft.about.com/od/openofficeimpress/ig/071005-openoffice-animations/effect_options.htm) This window could be the target of a link/button/entry/… “Animation effect” but as it is always dependent to an animation in the first place, it does not make sense in a menu drop down. 3) The oldest English version for Mac I could find was sadly only 3.3.0. I could reproduce the described behavior also there and also found not a clue of anything else which would reasonable be targeted from a menu item labeled “Animation effect” 4) In the English version of Power Point there is a menu item called “Animation Schemes” which is, by term, relatively close to “Animation effect” and leads to the animation effects of Power Point which are similar to the custom animations of OpenOffice. There are no clues about this behavior being a bug. And without description of what an according menu item would do, and even with the original report pointing out that “custom animations” is not meant, I conclude that this behavior is not a bug. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
