Presentation with OLE objects for testing

The attached document has OLE objects on the slides. They have the interaction "Start object action" assigned. This command is only available for OLE objects. When assigning it, the list provides all available verbs. That are the same verbs as in Edit > Object.

Slide 1 has a document as OLE from WordPad with verb "Edit". "Open" would be available too. It works in edit mode and show mode.

Slide 2 has a pdf-file as OLE. In edit mode it opens Acrobat Reader for me.

Slide 3 has Math-Objects, one with verb "Edit", the other with verb "Save Copy as...".

Slide 4 has a Chart-Object with verb "Edit".

Slides 2, 3 and 4, work in edit mode, but not in show mode.

Expected behavior: At least the own document types should work in show mode too.

Long time ago, it had worked in OOo1.1.5 with sxi format, but it was already broken in OOo2.4.3.

[I come across this error, while testing presentation:event-listener attributes.]

I can confirm that slide 3 and slide 4 didn't not work. Acrobat reader poped up for slide 2 when I clicked it. Verify with the version

The OLE activation with WordPad and AcrobatReader works partly in show mode. WordPad and AcrobatReader start, but they are in background although the setting "Presentation always on top" is not checked. After you switch window with Alt+Tab (Windows 10) the applications can be uses on the object.

The OLE activation with our own OLE objects Math and Chart does not work at all. At least for Math, where an outplace mode exists, this activating should work.

There are still problems in Version: 7.6.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 9d44236a62bf59d120dda89924d0d1407b2bd52b

Slide 1 (Wordpad): LibreOffice hangs for me, both in edit and show mode.
Slide 2 (PDF) : OK
Slide 3 (Math): Does not work in show mode.
Slide 4 (Chart) : Does not work in show mode.

Wordpad might be a problem with my current PC, but Math and Chart, which are our own applications, should work in show mode.
