Created attachment 54217 [details] sample document See the attached fly.odp with a text box with three 1st level paragraphs (Foo, Bar, Baz) with one 2nd level paragraph each (First, Second, Third), with an on-click animation (fly in) grouped "By 2nd level paragraphs" (see context menu of any of the items in the "Tasks" pane's "Custom Animation - Effect Fly In" list, "Effect Options... - Text Animation - Group text"). When doing the slide show, the individual 1st and 2nd level paragraphs correctly fly in one by one (Foo; First; Bar; Second; Baz; Third). Now, remove the effect for each of the 1st level paragraphs (Foo, Bar, Baz), via the items' context menu "Remove". When doing the slide show, the first 1st level paragraph (Foo) is correctly displayed right from the start, and the individual 2nd level paragraphs correctly fly in one by one (First; Second; Third), but the remaining two 1st level paragraphs (Bar, Baz) are erroneously not displayed at all. Also, after removing all the 1st level paragraphs' effects, the grouping of the remaining 2nd level paragraphs (as stated at "Effect Options... - Text Animation -Group Text") changes from "By 2nd level paragraphs" to "All paragraphs at once". Manually changing the setting for a paragraph does not work, after closing the "Effect Options" dialog it automatically goes back to "All paragraph at once." (Reproduced with a libreoffice-3-4 build towards LO 3.4.5. On master towards LO 3.5, this cannot currently be tested well, as doing this animated slide show, at least in an unxlngx6 --enable-dbgutil build, soffice.bin aborts with drawshapesubsetting.cxx's makeTreeNode calculating std::distance between singular iterator and end; immediate problem appears to be that maActionClassVector.begin() == maActionClassVector.end() in DrawShapeSubsetting::getTreeNode.)
Created attachment 54218 [details] fix the (automatically selected) paragraph grouping With the attached paralevels.patch, after removing all the 1st level paragraphs' effects, the grouping of the remaining 2nd level paragraphs (as stated at "Effect Options... - Text Animation -Group Text") stays at "By 2nd level paragraphs" and no longer automatically changes to "All paragraphs at once". Manually changing the setting for a paragraph still does not work, however---after closing the "Effect Options" dialog it automatically goes back to "By 2nd level paragraphs."
Thorsten ? :-)
Stephan Bergmann committed a patch related to this issue. It has been pushed to "master": http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=5c2c03e9062d0c86d385a56c3ce1f536944927a2 Fix fdo#43619 Animating only 2nd level paragraphs hides 1st level
Patch looks good, improves things -> pushed.
But the original problem is not yet fixed at all. Note that attachment 54218 [details] was nothing but work-in-progress, as comment 1 tried to make clear. It now unfortunately got committed with a misleading commit message claiming "Fix fdo#43619."
Comment on attachment 54218 [details] fix the (automatically selected) paragraph grouping patch is integrated, removing "patch" flag so it does not turn up in bugzilla searches.
What I can confirm is that, after removing the effects of the three 1st level paragraphs (Foo, Bar, Baz) the last two (Bar, Baz) are not showing on the slideshow. The patch mentioned fixes the "Effect Options... - Text Animation -Group Text") and it's working fine, but the other issue (Bar and Baz dissappearing) is not fixed.

The steps described produce the desired results for me: 1. Removing all 1st level animation effects correctly makes all 1st level paragraphs show up at the start of the presentation of the slide. 2. The "group text" option correctly shows as "by second level paragraph" after all the 1st level paragraph animations have been deleted.

(I too see the reproducer from comment 0 fixed with a recent local Linux master build towards LO 6.3)
