Description Callegar 2025-05-17 22:58:12 UTC
Description:
I have a presentation that has been created using a pptx presentation template. The presentation has later been always saved as an opendocument odp presentation.

In this presentation it is impossible to modify the slide order.

You cannot do it from the slides miniature pane on the left, and you cannot do it using the slide sorter view either.

When you try to drag a slide to a different place in the slide set, a little "forbidden" sign appears.

Steps to Reproduce:
See description

Actual Results:
Slides cannot be rearranged

Expected Results:
It should be possible to drag slides to change their order


Reproducible: Always
