[Bug 1196679]

 

** Please read this message in its entirety before responding **

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today,
LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open,
confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked
on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has
been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really
appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still
present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present on a currently supported version of LibreOffice (5.0.4 or later)
   https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the version of LibreOffice and your operating system, and any changes you see in the bug behavior
 
the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a short comment that includes your version of LibreOffice and Operating System

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so: 

1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3
unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3)

http://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug

3. Leave a comment with your results.

4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to "inherited from
OOo";

4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add "regression" to keyword

Title:
  [Upstream] Most recent change in presentation not saved when using
  animations

Status in LibreOffice:
  Confirmed
Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Problem description:
  LibreOffice Impress discards changes to documents without notice in certain circumstances. It happens when the object in question is part of a custom animation and if no other content is modified before saving.

  This is actually really annoying as it may lead to whole paragraphs of
  text getting lost or to other corrections not being saved (and as
  such, errors or typos getting re-introduced without noticing).

  Steps to reproduce:
  1. Create an empty presentation
  2. Add some text such as "Test0"
  3. Select the entered text (or the parent text box) and add a custom animation (doesn't matter which, but let's say "Appear")
  4. Save and close the document
  5. Open it again and modify the text (Make "Test0" read "Text1")
  6. Without editing anything else, click save (or press Ctrl+S) and close the presentation
  7. Re-open again and notice that the last change did not get saved (the page still reads "Test0")

  Current behavior:
  The most recent change done to any animated item is not saved, unless something else is modified afterwards.
  Above test case shows "Test0".

  
  Expected behavior:
  Everything which is visible on-screen should be saved to the file and should look the same after re-opening the file.
  Above test cases should yield "Test1".

  Further information:
  - The list of custom animations does not update properly either (i.e. when "Test0" is changed to "Test1", the animation list still says "Test0" unless something else is edited or focus is switched to another slide).
  - While I am not familiar with the LibreOffice code, it looks like some event is not fired in this case which would usually be responsible for updating internal state at several places (internal ODF representation, custom animation list pane).
  - Removing the custom animation and repeating the test (changing content, saving, reloading) will still show the bug! The bug only vanishes if the document is re-opened after the custom animation has been removed.

  
  Environment:
  - This was first noticed on Kubuntu 13.04 with the bundled libreoffice-4.0.2.2
  - also reproduced on: Ubuntu 13.04, bundled libreoffice-4.0.2.2, different machine
  - also reproduced on: Ubuntu 13.04, libreoffice.org's 4.0.4.2 packages (LibreOffice_4.0.4.2_Linux_x86-64_deb)
  - also reproduced on: Ubuntu 13.04, libreoffice.org's 4.1.0.1 packages (LibreOffice_4.1.0.1_Linux_x86-64_deb)

  (all tests on x86_64)
