Bug ID: 151252
Summary: Scrolling the notes is _disastrously_ fiddly
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.3.6.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Impress
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
So far as I can tell, when one is in 'presenter' mode, and viewing notes the
overflow the window pane, the only way to scroll the notes is by clicking the
scroll bar and dragging it. If that is true, it is pretty disastrous. For, if
one is giving a presentation - as I was today when I encountered this problem -
then, to see all of ones notes, which is something one needs to be able to do
_quickly_, one must do a click and drag that, if one is using a laptop (which
is fairly likely), and if one does not have an attached mouse but must use a
touchpad or similar (again: likely), is fiddly and, thus, slow.
So: this is something that can wreck the very purpose of Impress, namely,
giving presentations. (Hence my tagging this bug as 'major'.) The reply that
one should only use short notes misses the point. For, perhaps, ideally, one
should; but that does not mean that the software should stuff one right royally
if one does not.
What should be done: can the arrow keys, and scroll wheel, not be used to
scroll the notes, once the caret is within the note box? So doing would stop
those means being used, at that moment, to switch slides - but that outcome is
much less bad than the one that one gets currently.
