Octavio Alvarez <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #9 from Octavio Alvarez <[email protected]> --- I tested it and I think the position and size became a red herring. It seems like it all depends on how the "Go to slide 2" part of step 3 is done and who has the active focus. In the Roland's original steps, the focus is kept on the Slides pane at the left. SCENARIO 1, THE OP's: If you go to slide 2 by 1) clicking the second slide on the left Slides bar and 2) immediately pasting the World icon, the status is as follows: - left pane has slide 2 selected - center pane has World selected - active focus is on the left pane Cutting or Deleting applies to the selected object with the active focus: the second slide on the left pane. SCENARIO 2, SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT: If, instead, you "go to slide 2" by 1) clicking on the second slide on the left Slides bar, 2) clicking anywhere on the blank side of the slide itself at the center pane without moving or deselecting anything and 3) pasting the World icon, the status is as follows: - left pane has slide 2 selected - center pane has World selected - active focus is on the center pane *** (notice this difference) Cutting or Deleting applies to the selected object with the active focus: the World icon on the center pane. The active focus switches to the center pane when the slide on the center pane is clicked. Roland Baudin said in the initial description: > Note that if one moves the top image by one pixel before pressing Ctrl-X, > then the issue does not appear. Yes, because "moving by one pixel" is typically done by mouse and this will require a click on the center pane, and this will switch the focus to the center pane. Thus, Cut or Del will now apply to the World icon. ADDITIONAL COMMENTS FROM ME: I tried pressing the "up" key after pasting the World icon. In scenario 1, the selection moves from the second to the first slide on the Slides pane at the left. In scenario 2, pressing the "up" key will move the World icon upwards a little. I am running LibO under GTK4. The active focus highlight on the Slides pane is noticeable if just by a little border. It's not *that* obvious. I noticed the provided recording by Roland does not show what happens if he clicks on the slide and switch the focus to the center pane, to see how LibO highlights the slides on his system when the left pane does not have the active focus. At first, it didn't reproduce, and then after watching the video it did! And I didn't know why, hah! So I may have selected the center pane out of habit or something happened and I clicked on the center pane, and that may be why it didn't reproduce for some others. So, the real questions are: 1) Should the focus should switch to the center pane upon pasting? 2) Should the highlight be made more noticeable under a default configuration? I don't think it will make any difference, as we will "shortcut" it and think that it is slide 2 which is highlighted, not that the slides pane still has the focus. 3) Was the behavior different in previous versions? Maybe the UX team can help. I can't tell for sure if this is a bug or not. I'm inclined for "not a bug". The current behavior allows to paste the same image into multiple slides quickly by: 1. In slide 1, Copy the icon. 2. Click slide 2 on the left. 3. Paste 4. Down key 5. Paste 6. Down key 7. Paste 8. Down key... ... and so on. If the focus were to be switched to the center pane on pasting, this would be made much more difficult. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
