Description Reuben Thomas 2011-10-07 14:39:25 UTC
After removing a custom animation from a slide, the Add... button no longer works. I have to select another slide and then go back to the first one in order to be able to add a new custom animation.

[This is an automated message.]
This bug was filed before the changes to Bugzilla on 2011-10-16. Thus it
started right out as NEW without ever being explicitly confirmed. The bug is
changed to state NEEDINFO for this reason. To move this bug from NEEDINFO back
to NEW please check if the bug still persists with the 3.5.0 beta1 or beta2 prereleases.
Details on how to test the 3.5.0 beta1 can be found at:
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugHunting_Session_3.5.0.-1

Comment 2 Reuben Thomas 2011-12-23 13:57:28 UTC
Confirmed in 3.5.0beta1. Changing back to NEW.
Comment 3 A (Andy) 2013-04-20 22:05:53 UTC
not reproducible with LO 4.0.2.2 (Win7 Home, 64bit)

Does this issue still persist for you with the latest release of LO?  If not, then I would propose to close this bug report.
Comment 4 Reuben Thomas 2013-04-20 22:28:50 UTC
This bug still exists in 4.0.2.2 (Ubuntu 12.10, 64bit), in a weaker form:

Here is what I do step by step:

1. Open an Impress file.

2. Click on a custom animation.

3. Click the Remove button.

At this stage, the Add… button is still active. However, no effect is selected.

4. Click the Add… button.

5. Nothing happens, but the Add… button is now greyed out.

If I select an effect, the Add… button is reactivated, and I can add another animation. If after deleting an effect its parent were selected, then I would not need this extra click. (This is the same sort of bug as if the text caret disappeared when you press Delete; the difference is that the caret marks a place between characters, whereas here the effective position is on a particular (selected) effect, not between two.) But maybe this is just the way that tree widgets work?

Please attach your presentation file so anyone here could test using same source.

I think it's a bug.

Confirm same behavior on my testing.

Don't know whether it's a bug or it's designed as is with some consideration.

Tested on LO 4.0.4.1 (Win7 32bit)

Version: 4.2.0.0.alpha0+Build ID: b0a1666f756aa5f5315366eca9d7d02ddd55d2b
Date:   Tue May 28 08:51:01 2013 +0300 
Platform: Bodhi Linux 2.2 x64

I can confirm and believe it isn't working as intended - it should gray out immediately.

The issue is that after you remove it unselects the object so there is nothing to add an event to. 

So one of two solutions are needed:
1. Don't unselect the object so you can add immediately
2. Gray out immediately after selecting remove


New
Minor - doesn't prevent high quality work, can slow it down a tiny bit
Low - default seems appropriate

ProposedEasyHack - seems relatively easy to solve

In order to limit the confusion between ProposedEasyHack and EasyHack and to make queries much easier we are changing ProposedEasyHack to NeedsDevEval.

Thank you and apologies for the noise
