test ODP

Impress has hidden slide and custom slide show, but it doesn't work as it should.

Steps (or use attached ODP for steps 1.-4.):
1.- Create a new impress file, with 4 slides 1, 2, 3, 4
2.- Hide slides 3 and 4
3.- Go to option "Slide Show" - "Custom Slide Show..."
4.- New button, add 3 and 4 to custom group.

5.- Use the check box [ ] Use Custom Slide Show
6.- Press button "Start"

Experienced: slide show starts with slides 1 and 2 (normal slide show)
Expected (like in MSO): slide show starts with hidden slides 3 and 4

This was never fine from LO 3.3 where hidden slides feature was added, crash was fixed with bug 64711. 
Once this is hopefully fixed, Help should also be amended to explain that custom slide show can be used to run hidden slides.

By the end of 7.2 behavior changed, so custom slide show does not start at all.
Same in 25.8+.
