Description Dan Scott 2012-02-27 04:28:11 UTC
When a presentation contains two embedded tables which are different sheets from one calc spreadsheet:

Double click on a table to edit the contents. The user interface jumps around and the table moves within the presentation.

Also, the table switches to a different worksheet if you have two tables from the same calc spreadsheet. It 'remembers' the last selected worksheet incorrectly when there are two links to the same spreadsheet.

Thanks for bugreport
Please, attach presentation that demonstrates this problem
Comment 2 Dan Scott 2012-03-23 08:58:54 UTC
Why? Is my description insufficient? I can describe it in more detail if required.
Comment 3 sasha.libreoffice 2012-03-23 09:32:06 UTC
For developers will able to test if bug is properly fixed or not. In future testers can test if bug appears again or not (test for regressions).
Currently in 3.5.1 problem still exist.
Please, attach presentation that demonstrates this problem
Comment 4 Dan Scott 2012-03-23 09:43:23 UTC
What does a presentation have to do with that? Testers/developers can still test using the description.

What does a presentation give that my textual description does not. It will take me a lot of time and effort to setup and record a screencast - I have never done it before. I will be happy to do it if you can give me a reasonable explanation of why you need a presentation instead of using my text description.

You have stated that the problem still exists - so you were able to follow my text description.
Comment 5 sasha.libreoffice 2012-03-23 22:43:56 UTC
I mean odp or ppt file. Not screencast.

> a presentation contains two embedded tables which are different sheets
> from one calc spreadsheet
I mean this file. Or manually created odp file which demonstrates this problem.
If currently no time for this, then tell me, I will create this file by my own.
Thanks. Best regards.

Checked with:
LO 3.5.5.3 
Build ID: own W7 debug build
Windows 7 Professional SP1 64 bit

Could not reproduce. No "jumping" interface nor moving tables nor forgetting selected worksheets (if links not updated upon reload).
Please be advised that attaching a test case file, along with precise steps to reproduce, will allow others to have repeatable test results on different system/build. Creating from scratch sometimes can cure a bug or tester can do it not the way as reporter.
Comment 7 Joel Madero 2013-06-23 03:57:12 UTC
Agreed that a test case would be nice

When you say "when a presentation contains two embedded tables" -> Are you talking about OLE objects or copy/paste

Really a test case would be ideal. From the description I cannot reproduce. Due to this fact, lack of a test case, and bfoman's comment a few months back with no reply, assuming problem is fixed.

Marking as WFM

If this is not correct please provide a test case with enumerated steps to easily reproduce and see the problem.

Thanks for reporting
