I can easily confirm Emir Sarı’s observations, and therefore I set the status of this bug report to NEW. However, I propose *not* to change this without further discussion, probably on the UX list. I am no Impress expert, and I don’t know if there is not some reason for these big “margins” around the slide ... At least on thing I can think of is that it is possible to move elements, which are currently not needed in a slide, to the “margin” of that slide, with the intention to use them later, if necessary. Or to play with different possible elements (e.g., images): leave image A on the slide, move image B to the margin; then exchange both; and observate which design looks better. This usage of the free space is common in DTP applications. (At least I know many QuarkXPress users who used the “working space” [as this free place around pages is called there, IIRC] in this way, and professional books which recommend to use the “working space” in that way. The XPress users even requested [long years ago] to increase the “working space”, because they used it so often …) And yes, it is possible to use the “margins” around the slides in this way in Impress (I have just tested it); and all such usages of the “margin” around the slides make it necessary to have “lots [!] of scrollable area” around the slide. Therefore I propose *not* to change the state of affairs without thorough discussion. There is no special Status for bugs of this kind, sorry ;-) So this is either NEW or NOTABUG ... -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
