Created attachment 42863 [details] ScreenShot-Sometimes-Zoom-Slider-Disappears Im am quite extensively using Impress these days and encounter several times in a day following bug: The ZoomSlider sometimes simply dissapears. Please see attached screen shot. Unfortunately, I could not find an ideal way to reproduce the bug. I know that it only happens when I often switch between "Normal" mode and "Note" (Notiz) mode. I never encountered this problem when I was only using "Normal" mode on one day. In order to get the ZoomSlider back to work, sometimes it is enough to switch back to "Note" view and again back to "Normal" view. Sometimes, a restart of Impress is necessary, though.
Additional remarks: My system is: Ubuntu 4.10 (32 Bit) and LibreOffice 3.3
I think that zoom slider is visible only if the focus is on the main document area. For example it disappears if you select a slide thumbnail in the sidebar.
Since I could not reproduce the bug since I reported it, I set the status to resolved invalid. I will reopen the bug when I can reproduce it. @vitriol: I am aware that the zoom slider is only visible if the focus is in the main area. However, the problem was that it was in the edit mode in the main area.
*** Bug 38698 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Behavior is at least a bit unexpected, may be an Enhancement to keep slider visible would be appropriate?
[Reproducible] with "LibreOffice 3.4.1RC1 - WIN7 Home Premium (64bit) German UI [OOO340m1 (Build:103)]" vitriol's observation is correct, and I believe it's a bug. While Zoom Slider is invisible zoom can be modified with menu 'View > Zoom', so why should it not also be possible with slider?
@Thorsten: Please feel free to reassign if it’s not your area!
Jeffrey added a Comment 6 in Bug 38698 what matches with my suspects.
My own comment from dupe #38698: "I can sort of understand that the zoom slider isn't available in the Slide Sorter view (the slide sorter could however also show slides at different zoom levels), but it definitely should be available when using the Slides sidebar -- to zoom the slides in the main window (the similar look of sorter and sidebar makes me think the code is the same [1]). The rest of the bug are UI problems: * the Zoom slider takes a little time to vanish after [clicking somewhere on the sidebar — so LibO is not responsive enough here] * the two bars to the left and right sides are still there making the status bar look broken * when using the context menu of the sidebar, the Zoom slider only vanishes after selecting an element of the menu (it should vanish immediately after right-clicking the area."

Hi Bfoman, is the owner the reporter or the person to whom the bug is assigned (= Thorsten in this case)? Thanks.
I was thinking about current assignee.
Hmm. Played a bit with that today, but run out of time again - anyway, here are some code pointers, turning this into an easy hack: This is behaviour is because the zoom slider is connected to the SID_ATTR_ZOOMSLIDER item, which is disabled for the slide sorter view. If you stick a breakpoint into SvxZoomSliderControl::StateChanged() in svx/source/stbctrls/zoomsliderctrl.cxx, you notice getting disabled when clicking into the slide sorter window, and enabled back again when focusing the main view.
