Bug ID: 168470
Summary: Toolbar "Insert Glue Point" button not working as
expected
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 25.2.5.2 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Impress
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
Bug 1: Non-functional "Insert Glue Point" button after enabling via View →
Toolbars → Glue Points
Steps to reproduce
1. Open Impress.
2. Enable toolbar via View → Toolbars → Glue Points.
3. Try to press the "Insert Glue Point" button.
Observed behavior
- The button is displayed, but pressing it has no effect:
It does not visually stay pressed (no “locked” state).
The Glue Point Edit Mode is not entered.
- The button is effectively non-functional (defect / “does not lock in place”).
Expected behavior
- The button should work identically regardless of how the toolbar was made
visible.
- Clicking should toggle the Glue Point Edit Mode (pressed = active, released =
inactive).
Bug 2: Inconsistent state when enabling via Edit → Glue Points
Steps to reproduce
1. Open Impress.
2. Activate Glue Point Edit Mode via Edit → Glue Points.
Observed behavior
- The Glue Points toolbar appears.
- The "Insert Glue Point" button is in a functional state (can be clicked),
but it is not already pressed.
- User must press it again manually to enter the mode.
Expected behavior
- As soon as Edit → Glue Points is selected, the Glue Points toolbar should
appear with the "Insert Glue Point" button already pressed, clearly indicating
the mode is active.
Additional notes
- The "Insert Glue Point" button behaves like a binary toggle but currently has
three states in practice:
On (pressed, mode active).
Off (released, mode inactive).
Defect / non-functional (visible, but cannot be toggled).
This inconsistent behavior causes confusion, especially because the same
toolbar/button can be functional or defective depending on how it was opened.
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open Impress.
2.Enable toolbar via View → Toolbars → Glue Points.
3.Try to press the "Insert Glue Point" button.
Actual Results:
The button is displayed, but pressing it has no effect:
It does not visually stay pressed (no “locked” state).
The Glue Point Edit Mode is not entered.
The button is effectively non-functional (defect / “does not lock in place”).
Expected Results:
The button should work identically regardless of how the toolbar was made
visible.
Clicking should toggle the Glue Point Edit Mode (pressed = active, released =
inactive).
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
We see two bugs that are related and have therefore been sensed in one bug
report.
I did not try to rest my profile, because I'm facing with this issue in
multiple machines with multiple users, scattered a couple of years.
