--- Comment #8 from [email protected] --- As I reported in #151252 (which has been closed on account of its being considered a duplicate of this the present bug) there is a really _disastrous_ bug in this area. Or so it seems to me. Let me quote (in fact the entirety of) my original bug report. === Start of quotation === 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. === End of quotation === So I submit that the importance of this bug be raised to 'major'. (Or, if it is thought that I complain about something other than the original topic of this bug report, then my report - 151252 - out to be re-opened.) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
