Justin Luth, since you fixed bug 126095 would you be keen in addressing this one as well?
Comment 4 Justin L 2023-06-24 20:38:40 UTC
This looks like the same issue as bug 126095, where 
officecfg/registry/data/org/openoffice/Office/UI/ImpressWindowState.xcu

private:resource/toolbar/slideviewobjectbar

is set to Visible by default (while slideviewtoolbar is not)

These are turned on by ToolBarRules::MainViewShellChanged. But I'm not sure it is a good idea to NOT show the "Slide View" toolbar
-"Slides per row" is not found anywhere on the NotebookBar.
-"Rehearse Timings" is found on the Slide Show tab
-"Show Slide"/"Hide Slide" are found on the Layout tab

Until there is a dedicated context tab that contains all of these and gets the focus at the view change, I don't recommend "fixing" this bug report.

View Tab in Impress and PowerPoint

A comparison of the View Tab in Impress and PowerPoint
Comment 6 John Mills 2023-06-26 08:34:31 UTC
@ Justin: I agree with Pedro here that the ideal situation would be to remove this additional toolbar, however, I understand your logic that missing functionality exists. 

Wouldn't it just make sense to rearrange the View Tab so that the missing functionality you mentioned is arranged like in the View Tab in Microsoft PowerPoint? I am not entirely sure what is actually missing. Getting rid of this additional toolbar will improve the consistency of Impress compared to the other constituent applications. 

@Pedro: I know you were involved in the beginning of the creation of the notebook bar UIs, is it quite difficult to rearrange some of the icons to make this work similar to PowerPoint?

Dear Pedro,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword
