Description Matthias Scheutz 2016-10-15 00:54:59 UTC
In my current version of LibreOffice
Version: 5.1.6.1.0+
Build ID: 5.1.6.1-1.fc24

Clicking on an item that has the interaction "go to document" enabled works in editing mode, but does not work any longer in presentation mode; instead, it simply advances the slide
Comment 1 Joel Madero 2016-10-16 05:28:33 UTC
Please attach a sample. Set to UNCONFIRMED once you do

Test presentation to demonstrate the bug

There is one image called "test" on the one slide in the presentation, and when you click on it in editing mode it will attempt to go to the document in "/tmp/test.wmv", but if you click on it in presentation mode it just advances the slide without trying to go the movie and show it.

This is a new bug that has persisted through the last few updates, it used to work before
Comment 3 Regina Henschel 2016-10-16 20:16:19 UTC
I cannot confirm the behavior. The links works the same in edit mode and in presentation mode. I have used

Same result as Regina on Linux.

Matthias: could you test with 5.2.x?

Set to NEEDINFO.
Change back to UNCONFIRMED, if the problem persists. Change to RESOLVED WORKSFORME, if the problem went away.

Just upgraded to Fedora 25 and tried it with OO 

Version: 5.2.3.3
Build ID: 5.2.3.3-6.fc25

same problem -- clicking on the image in edit mode goes to the document and thus launches the movie, clicking on it in presentation mode (despite a cursor change that indicates that there is a link) just advances the slides
Comment 7 Thomas Hackert 2016-12-11 10:06:40 UTC
Hello Matthias, *,
I cannot confirm your bug with

OS: Debian Testing AMD64
LO: Version: 5.1.6.2
Build-ID: 07ac168c60a517dba0f0d7bc7540f5afa45f0909
CPU-Threads: 4; BS-Version: Linux 4.5; UI-Render: Standard;

nor with

LO: Version: 5.3.0.0.beta1+
Build-ID: 1093721a260d25f986fd794acd914b8fb7bcf92a
CPU-Threads: 4; BS-Version: Linux 4.5; UI-Render: Standard; VCL: gtk2; Layout-Engine: neu;

(parallel installed, following the instructions from https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Installing_in_parallel w/ de_DE lang- as well as helppack)

sorry ... :( Just out of interest: if I read your comments correctly, you are using Fedora's LO version. Have you tried it with one from us? Does it happen there, too? If not, you should report your bug to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/ and link that bugreport to this one.

Setting status to "NEEDINFO". Feel free to change it back to "UNCONFIRMED" after you have answered my question and this bug is also reproducible with our versions ... ;)
Have a nice day
Thomas.
Comment 8 Victor 2017-03-09 22:35:15 UTC
I think I’m running into this bug on Debian testing with

Version: 5.2.5.1
Build ID: 1:5.2.5-2
CPU Threads: 4; OS Version: Linux 4.9; UI Render: default; VCL: gtk3; 
Locale: fr-FR (en_GB.utf8); Calc: group

It actually affects also the "run program" Interaction. "Go to document" and "run program" work in edit mode: clicking on the object runs the action. Clicking on the object in presentation mode just advances to the next slide. 

Deactivating the setting "Change slides by clicking on backgrund" in the "Slide show settings" should prevent this but doesn’t. 

I used extensively the "Run program" interaction in the past. Older presentations, which used to work fine, don’t work anymore as expected. I can’t tell precisely when the change happened because I haven’t used Impress in a few months maybe. I’ll try to downgrade and see if it solves anything…
Comment 9 Victor 2017-03-09 23:26:09 UTC
Hmm… I tried to downgrade. In the process I completely uninstalled libreoffice and all dependencies. I didn’t succeed to install an older version and therefore reinstalled the same version available in debian testing. Surprisingly, this solved the problem. I don’t understand why, exactly the same interactions work now, with exactly the same Libreoffice version apparently. It may have been  some weird dependecy entanglement… Anyway, I can’t reproduce it anymore.
Comment 10 Buovjaga 2017-03-10 05:20:42 UTC
Matthias: could you try with 5.3 and if still seeing a problem: Help - Restart in safe mode and then Continue in safe mode without doing anything else.
Comment 11 Matthias Scheutz 2017-04-16 13:45:56 UTC
Just tried it with 5.3, now it works as it should
Comment 12 Buovjaga 2017-04-16 13:48:57 UTC
Fantastic news. Let's close.
