Bug 128872

Summary: Deleting animation in Impress doesn't remove transitions. If animation recreated, the old transitions remain, so a (possibly large) number of unneeded clicks is prepended.

One object, one "appear" animation, takes three clicks for the object to appear

Description Jacques de Hooge 2019-11-18 12:30:17 UTC 
Description:
Sometimes I create an animation inImpress, but I make an error.
If the animation is complicated I usually delete all steps and re-enter them all.
But although the old animation isn't visible anymore the steps / transitions remain.
So if I build up a new animation for the same slide, and enter the new steps,
when I display it, I have to use many mouseclicks to go through the old animation, although these needless clicks don't display anything.


Steps to Reproduce:
The problem occurred after editing a slide that was originally made with PowerPoint.
Since I don't use Windows anymore, I can't reproduce it.
I realize that with so little information it will be almost impossible to fix this bug.
Still I hope you have a clue.
A workaround is to copy the elements of the slides one by one to a new slide and reanimate that.

Actual Results:
During a presentation, clicks are still needed to step through removed animations.

Expected Results:
It should have gone from the previous step right to the inserted new steps,skipping any steps that aren't tied to on-screen things anymore.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
I'll add the offending presentation.
Slide 7 still shows the problem.
Before the matrices on the right are finally shown, about 5 useless clicks are needed.

I can confirm something similar - attached presentation contains two "ghost" animations, which need to be "clicked through" before you get to the one "true" animation (in this case, appearance of a simple object).

Don't know how they are created, but they are attached to the slide: selecting all and copy/pasting into a new slide resolves the problem.

We can't do anything without original source files that could be used for reproducing the issue. Closing.
