Problem description: Presentation option / config to start with current or first slide does not have impact on presentation mode, it always starts with the first slide. Furthermore, I am not even able to disable the option to check the behaviour as it stays on on opening config/options (even when disabled and closed), not working. Steps to reproduce: 1. Go to Options->Impress->General->Presentation-> 2. enable Always... 3. go to presentation mode (F5), first slide is shown Current behavior: first slide is shown user is not able to disable/enable option at their will (stays always checked) Expected behavior: currently selected slide is shown user is able to disable/enable option at their will Operating System: Ubuntu Version: 4.1.1.2 release
Thanks for reporting! I can reproduce this behavior, tested using Mac OSX 10.9 with LibreOffice Version: 4.1.3.2 Build ID: 70feb7d99726f064edab4605a8ab840c50ec57a Also with Version: 4.2.0.0.alpha1 Build ID: 496e2be9dd6eb96d120d412760422eaa904b7f71 Kind regards, Joren
Version: 4.1.3.2 Build ID: 70feb7d99726f064edab4605a8ab840c50ec57a also has the same problem.
As we have a option to start from current slide, i can't see why we would need this option.
To start from current slide go to "SlideShow -> Start from current slide" or press shift+F5. As this is possible I would suggest removing the option from the dialog.
I removed the option from the options-dialog (https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/7842)

Good to have marked the other thread as duplicate and having removed the option but, what about reverting the "Start slideshow" button to its old behaviour? Or better, to let users choose which behaiour they desire?
