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 Steps to Reproduce: The problem occurred after editing a slide that was originally made with PowerPoint.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.
Created attachment 155915 [details] The presentation that shows the problem in slide 7. Please give some extra clicks after all seems to be visible. After about 5 clicks, matrices become visible. This file was converted from MS-office .pptx by Impress.
Created attachment 156133 [details] One object, one "appear" animation, takes three clicks for the object to appear
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.
