Video showing the problem

After drawing a shape in Impress the shape tool should no longer be selected (highlighted) because it is no longer enabled.

See attached video for more information.

Steps to reproduce:
1) Create a new Impress document
2) Open the "Shapes" sidebar
3) Click once in any of the shapes and draw it onto the canvas
4) Right after finishing to draw it, try to draw again; notice that it wont draw a new shape, hence the tool should no longer be highlighted

The expected behavior would be to automatically remove the tool highlight from the sidebar after finishing drawing the shape.

Comment 1 Rafael Lima 2022-08-22 20:23:04 UTC
By the way, while testing this bug I came across a (possibly undocumented) feature. If you click the tool twice, it will remain enabled and you can draw as many instances of the same shape as you like.

In such case, the highlight should remain visible.

Is this indeed a feature? I could not find documentation for it. If it is indeed a feature, it should be documented in the help [1] via a tip or note.

Yes.

Seems to be documented at https://help.libreoffice.org/latest/en-US/text/simpress/main0210.html

That page seems to be for Writer and Calc only.

Dear Rafael Lima,

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
