Description Andrew Pavlin 2022-08-11 00:08:56 UTC
Description:
I successfully created a simple slide show (all text, no kiosk mode) in Impress and saved it in PowerPoint format (.pps). Re-opening the file to edit it some (either Open Recent Document, plain File->Open, or specifying the file name on the command line) automatically starts running the slide show. Attempting to stop the slide show causes Impress to exit with a Unix status code of 0.

How do I re-open a slide show saved in PowerPoint format just to edit it?

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Save a slide show in .pps format. Exit Impress.
2. Re-start Impress.
3. Open the file (it will start running the slide show whether you want it or not).
4. Hit Escape key to stop the presentation.

Actual Results:
I briefly see the document editing window for Impress, then the application exits and the window disappears.

Expected Results:
1. It shouldn't have auto-started the slide show.
2. When I hit Escape to stop the presentation, it should have gone back to the editing window and allowed me to further edit the document.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes


OpenGL enabled: Yes

Additional Info:
The slide show was created on Linux Mint 19 with LibreOffice 6.0.7.
Copying the document to a Fedora Core 34 system with LibreOffice 7.1.8.1 produces exactly the same problem trying to edit the file. Safe mode (and switch back to factory defaults) does not resolve the problem.

Never mind. I just noticed I named the file .pps (auto-start) instead of .ppt.
