Neil Thompson <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #1 from Neil Thompson <[email protected]> --- I was able to replicate this behaviour, or something very like it, using AOO 3.4.0 version 340m1 Build 9590 rev. 1325589. My machine is Toshiba tablet PC, Intel Core 2 Duo at 2.1 GHz with 2.0 Gb RAM & running 32-bit Windows Vista Business (with Service Pack 2). To start, I assumed that “text bullets” were actually a multiple of text objects, as I do not know of a way of animating separate bullets within a single text object. Having done this, I found something very close to what had been described: 1. In a new OpenOffice presentation, set up some text objects containing one bullet each (I chose 4 for convenience) 2. Select each object in turn, and for each: click Custom Animation, Modify effect Add, Entrance Appear, OK (leaving defaults of Start on click, Automatic preview on); 3. Click the Play button: this makes the first bullet display but then “automatically” after about one second, the animation stops and the whole slide redisplays in edit mode. 4. However, when clicking the Slide Show button instead of Play (this was not in the original bug report as such), the first bullet displays immediately without clicking, then on 1st click nothing seems to happen, then on 2nd, 3rd & 4th clicks the 2nd, 3rd & 4th bullets appear. 5. The same behaviour (on both Play and Slide Show buttons) occurs when using the return key or down-arrow key instead of click. To attempt clarification, I ran some follow-up tests: • saving the file in Impress then reopening and retrying the tests (result: same behaviour); • using shapes (I chose rectangles) rather than text (result: similar behaviour except that with Slide Show button each object appeared on click, including the first); • resequencing animations using Change Order up and down buttons (result: the effects are on the current animation sequence, not the sequence in which the animations were first applied); • omitting bulleting, just use ordinary text boxes (same behaviour); • setting up a similar file in PowerPoint then opening it with Impress and retrying tests (result: similar wrong behaviour on Play button; however correct animation behaviour (each bullet on click) for Slide Show; • using animations other than Appear on click (I could not get timing to work, all appearances were simultaneous); • instead of replicating a textbox, chose a slide layout with two text objects already built in (same behaviour). Suggested further follow-up tests: • try with different objects eg freehand lines; • uncheck the Automatic preview box; • call slide show from the menu rather than within Custom Animation; • try different slide layouts; • save Impress file as PowerPoint then try the animations from PowerPoint. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
