I don't understand why you say "yes, exactly" to something that contradicts your claim. You don't provide any reason why the user would expect to see the slide they click *in selection mode*. > > The slide pane can also > > be enlarged to help with slide content observation.

How does slide pane enlargement > relate to slide clicking Maybe you missed the point of my first sentence, where I was helping you come up with concrete arguments pro your request. You were lacking an actual benefit justifying the change and so far you have not listed any yourself. "It makes sense" is not a benefit, but an expression of your personal taste. > > Not saying we should always strive to emulate others, but office.com's > > Powerpoint behaves the same way as Impress. > > Are you sure?

So, if showing the slide is "not calm" - we > should be consistently uncalm. It is not consistent with the convention of selection mode behaviour where the only effect happening is the selection itself, not any view change. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
