Description stragu 2023-12-11 21:13:43 UTC
When using the RTL UI, the scrollbar in the Slides view of the Presenter Console is not usable.

Steps:
1. Start Impress in RTL UI, which can be done on Linux with:
SAL_RTL_ENABLED=1 libreofficedev24.2 --impress
2. Make sure there are more than 13 slides in the presentation, for the scrollbar to be visible in the Presenter Console's Slides view (might depend on the resolution, not sure)
3. Turn presenter console on, in windowed mode if you have only one monitor (in 24.2, go to Slide Show > Slide Show Settings)
4. Slide Show > Start from first slide
5. In the Presenter console, go to the Slides view
6. Try to scroll the slide list

Result: can't drag the scrollbar's thumb or use its buttons. Actually, one can drag it in the opposite margin of the panel.

Was already the case in LO 3.3: even though the scollbar was on the right, one could only drag it on the left of the panel.
It's location was likely inverted in LO 4.1 with b977c27383b36f511bcedc8cd48c160a1c0be514.

Reproduced the problem with:

Version: 24.2.0.3 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: da48488a73ddd66ea24cf16bbc4f7b9c08e9bea1
CPU threads: 20; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 22631; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win
Locale: en-US (en_US); UI: en-US
Calc: CL threaded

Also, going back to the main window, thumbnails do not get updated.

In the latest LO 24.8 dev master I get a crash. This happens when trying to start the slide show. Might need a separate issue.

Version: 24.8.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community

Dear Stéphane Guillou (stragu),

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
