Blinking thumbnails of linked images in LibreOffice Impress

Hi!
I'm using Impress 5.1.3.2 and linking more than an image for slide.
In the left column I can see the images thumbnail starting blinking in an alternate fashion between the correct thumbnail and a rectangle with a tiny red text. Usually just the upper slide present in the left column is the one with blinking thumbnails. Obviously this makes LibreOffice Impress harvest a lot of CPU.
To reproduce this you can create a presentation and start inserting two linked images for each slide, adding more slides at some point the thumbnails should start blinking.
See image.
In the image you can notice that also many other thumbnails are broken but at least they're static.

I added 4 images as links to one slide.
Saved and reloaded.
Still no blinking.

Hi, same problem here.

Impress 4.4.6.3
Build ID: 40m0(Buld:3)
Locale: fr_FR.UTF-8
OS: Xubuntu 15.04 64-bit; CPU Threads: 8

Blinking of linked images in the slide pane is triggered each time a slide is inserted (new or duplicate), moved (drag-drop), removed or when the document is loaded.

Images in a thumbnail stop blinking when the thumbnail is selected.
Blinking often propagates to the images of the next thumbnail, down to the last one.

While blinking, about 3 CPU threads are mobelized which yields to a very laggy UI. Then, if different thumbnails are selected too quickly, undesired slide duplicates are generated.

The red text appearing is the path to the corresponding blinking image.

This is systematic.

Thanks. I confirm with 5.1.3 BUT not with 5.3 :)

Can you guys please test with 5.1.4 and maybe 5.2 release candidates?

impress test file that bring out the bug with 5.2.beta2 and 5.1.4.2

with versions 5.2.0.0.beta2 and 5.1.4.2 the bug is harder to reproduce but occurred eventually (17 slides or so)

Ok, what I'm seeing with 5.3 when moving a slide is that LibO does an unneeded refresh of all the slide thumbs. It does not go into a loop, but for sure we can save some CPU cycles, if we skip this.
Comment 9 lj618 2017-04-15 21:53:50 UTC
I'm seeing this same problem with LibreOffice Draw version 5.3.2.1 on Slackware Linux 14.2 using the official LibreOffice builds for Linux.  Thumbnails blink alternating for each slide with linked images. Clicking on the thumbnails slowly, one after the other, stops the blinking. They will restart blinking if I select a different slide master for a slide.

(Adding this comment because above comments imply it is OK in 5.3. It isn't, at least not in Draw. Should I instead open a new report on Draw, vs Impress?)

No, Draw and Impress share a lot of code.

Can you confirm they do not blink in 5.0 or some older version? https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Installing_in_parallel/Linux

I can confirm they do in fact blink in 5.0.6.3 Draw, so this is apparently not a new problem.

Comment 13 lj618 2019-02-24 20:17:13 UTC
I did see the problem in Draw 5.4.6, when the previous comment from the QA team was posted. But now I am now using Draw 6.1.5 and the problem seems to have been completely fixed. No evidence of blinking or vanishing thumbnails with linked images.
Comment 14 lj618 2019-02-24 20:20:44 UTC
I see the QA instructions say I should have changed the status to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME, but I didn't. Although it works for me, I don't know if it works for anyone else, or in particular for the bug author.
Comment 15 Buovjaga 2019-02-24 20:33:28 UTC
lj308: as you still saw the problem as recently as 5.4, I am pretty confident we can close this. Thanks for following up.
