If I save a larger Impress presentation, and while it's being saved, I want to switch from Normal to Slide Master view - I can't do it: (Essentially) all items on the View menu are grayed out during the save. This is already a bug: There is no reason I should not be able to take non-modifying actions during a save. In fact, one could argue that modifying actions should also not be a problem (with the save being of the pre-modified document). But as if that's not bad enough - the gray-out continues even after the Save action is done, i.e. unless I leave the View menu and re-enter it, the items don't un-gray-out. Seen with: Version: 26.2.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 0d986755e4153230670c820dc52cc40cd72dfa87 CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 6.12; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: en-IL (en_IL); UI: en-US Calc: CL threaded but also with some 24.8 release or 25.2 nightly last year.
Cannot confirm, after SaveAs the View menu items are correctly enabled. Tested without a huge presentation though. Version: 25.8.1.1 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 580(Build:1) CPU threads: 32; OS: Linux 6.16; UI render: default; VCL: kf6 (cairo+xcb) Locale: de-DE (en_US.UTF-8); UI: en-US 25.8.1-3 Calc: threaded

This does require the save action to be heavy enough for you to see the grayed-out items in the first place. Do you? Also, what do you think about the implicit questions here? 1. Is it legitimate for (View) menu items to be grayed-out during a Save action? 2. Supposing items do get grayed out, is it incumbent upon the app to un-gray them without the user having left the menu?

I cannot say why this happens during Save operations - it has been requested to run in the background, see bug Bug 48416 (duplicate?). And of course we have to enable the commands again if the context changes.
