Describes buggy behaviour of slide thumbnail overlay
The slide thumbnail overlay "start presentation, disable slide, copy slide",
that gets blended in when the mouse cursor was being moved over a slide
thumbnail, interferes with the user's work flow.
The bug(s) is explained easily in the attached file, which might be more
comprehensible than the following description.
Apparently the position of the overlay depends on the point of entry of the
mouse cursor onto the slide thumbnail. When the cursor is being moved onto a
thumbnail from the bottom, the overlay will appear in the upper part of the
thumbnail. But when the user rests the cursor in that upper part and clicks to
activate/edit that slide, an unexpected action is carried out because the user
will click on one of the commands of the overlay instead!
The position of the overlay should depend on the position of the mouse cursor,
and not on the point of entry onto the slide thumbnail.
Furthermore, there is a bug with the overlay position. When the the thumbnail
view is scrolled down a little, the overlay always appears in the upper part of
a thumbnail, independently of the point of entry.
And as usual, this should be optional! The user should be able to
enable/disable the overlay from a context menu of any slide thumbnail and in an
"advanced" menu in the options window.
>From a design point of view, the way the overlay blends in soothes the eye, but
this can be annoying when a "special effect" takes to long to "do its thing".
