Test file demonstrating animation problems when returning from previous slide

When in presentation mode, animated items such as bulleted text do not display in the correct order when the user returns to a previous slide.

Expected behavior: when returning to a previous slide by pressing backspace or left arrow, the previous slide should appear in its "final" state, with all animations having completed.  In my case, that means that all bulleted items should appear. In the attached sample file, the only animations are bulleted text items that should enter individually one at a time, one per click. 

Current behavior: when returning to a previous slide by pressing backspace or left arrow, some animated items appear but some do not. When I proceed to press backspace again, animated items do not disappear in order and some items.

Please see the attached file as an example.

I know that this sounds like a duplication of another bug (#137454), but that other bug is listed as solved yet the problem persists in 7.4.6.2.

To reproduce:

1. Open attached test file. 
2. Navigate to third (last) slide.
3. Enter presentation mode with this slide (shift-F5)
4. Press backspace. The previous slide appears, but the top bullet does not display.
5. Press backspace again. Two bullets disappear. Only the bottom bullet should disappear.
5. Press backspace again. All bullets disappear. At this point, only two bullets were visible, so the third (bottom visible) should disappear, leaving the second visible.  The first bullet is never visible, but of course it should be.

This behavior happens on most of my Impress files. As a teacher who often needs to return to previous slides, I experience this bug daily.

(Thanks to devs for their hard work!)

My system: LO 7.6.4.2, Ubuntu Linux 22.10

On pc Debian x86-64 with master sources updated today, I could reproduce this.

Dear Richard Trinkner,

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
