Problem description: I recently upgraded my old Debian laptop from lenny with OO (3.2.1) to wheezy with LO (3.5.4). I have used the presenter console with OO-Impress in a two-screen setup before and it worked like a charm. In LO however the presenter console shows some weird behaviour on animated slide transitions: While loading the next slide preview the transition pauses for about half a second - which looks really crappy on animated transitions (especially because I use it for backdrops on stage - that's one of the reasons why i use Debian stable btw.). A workaround is to switch to the slides preview dialog: as soon as the preview area is not drawn (because it's hidden behind the slide overview) animations run smoothly again. This however is cumbersome, because in the overview focus does not follow the current slide, so using the presenter console becomes somewhat pointless... running the presentation without the presenter console extension works flawlessly too, but in a stage environment the preview definitely is nice to have. Steps to reproduce: 1. install presenter console extension 2. create a presentation of some fullscreen images (i use image files in our beamer's native resolution of 1024x768 - so these are rather small files) 3. select some animated slide transitions 4. run the presentation Current behavior: on every slide change the transition animation starts to run, but after a fraction of a second is interrupted while the next slide's preview is drawn in the presenter console. Expected behavior: a smooth slide transition It wouldn't even matter if the transition is delayed until the preview is drawn (it's only some 1/10s of a second), but it's the "hickup" kind of interruption that looks ugly.
3.5.4 is very old, last LO version is 4.1.4. You must know that there won't be any fix (at least on TDF release) in 3.5.X, 3.6.X and 4.0.X Could you give 4.1.4 LO version a try by using testing repo?
Updated LO to 4.1.4.2 from debian wheezy-backports - same behaviour. (Is the presenter console now built-in? it doesn't show up in the Extensions Manager anymore. How can i make sure I'm not somehow using the previsouly installed extension?) Another weird detail: When I open the slides overview dialog in the presenter console and scroll around there (resulting in slide previews being loaded) this does *not* interfere with the animations (although in this dialog the programm has to load not only one but several slide previews at once; so i guess i can rule out general performance issues with my laptop). It really seems to be the one preview in the presenter console's main screen that causes the hickup. Wild guess: does the slides overview dialog run in a seperate thread but the main screen does not?
Version must contain the earliest version when the bug appeared, see https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/Bugzilla/Fields/Version Anyway, thank you for your feedback, i put it back to unconfirmed. About your questions, "Is the presenter console now built-in?" It seems so since 4.0 version "How can i make sure I'm not somehow using the previsouly installed extension?" Remove the package libreoffice-presenter-console if present Here's the description of the package: Package: libreoffice-presenter-console Source: libreoffice Version: 1:4.1.4-2 Installed-Size: 144 Maintainer: Debian LibreOffice Maintainers <debian-openoffice@lists.debian.org> Architecture: all Depends: libreoffice-impress (>= 1:4.0.0) Description-en: transitional package for the LibreOffice presenter console This package used to contain the LibreOffice presenter console. It has been integrated with LibreOffice Impress 4.0. You can safely remove this package. "does the slides overview dialog run in a seperate thread but the main screen does not?" I don't know Put it back to UNCONFIRMED
@reporter: please, could you attach your test file? Set status to needinfo, please set back to unconfirmed once the required infos provided. Thank you very much. Best regards. JBF
http://xover.mud.at/~invisible/download/pt_test.odp is a shortened test file (~9 MB) - the original contains more slides, but the issue does not depend on file size (even running from a ramdisk makes no difference). There are two automatic sequences (starting from slide 6 and slide 16) with animated slide transitions, where the issue is best visible (although it also happens at the manual crossfades). It is also well visible at the change from slide 1 to slide 2 (circular animation: the circle starts zooming up, then stops at about 1/10th of the way, and continues to grow bigger after a short delay). Again: the issue does *not* occur in single screen mode, nor does it occur when the presenter console is in slide list view (hiding the two-slides default screen). It's really only in the default view of presenter console on a dual screen display.
Laptop is a Lenovo X220 CPU: i5-2520M with integrated graphics HDD: Intel SSDSA2M160G2LE Display: primary = Laptop builtin, secondary = 1024x768 VGA OS: Debian Wheezy, Gnome desktop The issue occurs regardless of power saving settings or the like (but since it works under the circumstances explained above this cannot be the cause anyway).
Not reproducible for me with (dev.) version 4.2.3.0.0+ under Ubuntu 13.10 x86-64. Best regards. JBF
Summary edited for clarity i.e., to indicate this is a dual screen specific issue. FWIW I do get a small hourglass flickering at bottom left during the slideshow (most transitions) on a single screen 2009 iMac mini 2.53Ghz with Intel integrated graphics, running Debian 7 x86_64 + v4.3.0.3.
@Stephan Weinberger please give an update of the bug current status with the latest LibO 4.4.3.2 release.
Created attachment 116768 [details] Render problem of presenter console What I've got on Debian 8 (jessie) on KDE with: Versión: 4.3.7.2 Id. de compilación: 8a35821d8636a03b8bf4e15b48f59794652c68ba and Version: 4.4.5.0.0+ Build ID: be0f5f5b66c55081849250ffad9f600cd61a00a1 TinderBox: Linux-rpm_deb-x86_64@46-TDF, Branch:libreoffice-4-4, Time: 2015-06-20_22:26:11 Locale: es_ES.UTF-8 Transitions (Fade Smoothly) from slides numbered 2-3-4-5, 10-11-12, 13-14-15 ... start with a little "flash" and then goes smoothly. I don't get the problem of interruption while the next slide's preview is drawn. Things are getting worse on: Version: 5.1.0.0.alpha1+ Build ID: a64999511ae654131d997eec9a3d78478cfc1c75 TinderBox: Linux-rpm_deb-x86_64@46-TDF, Branch:master, Time: 2015-06-22_05:01:17 Locale: es-ES (es_ES.UTF-8) Where not only I've got the "flash" issue but also the presenter console has a render problem and is not showing correctly. I don't have this render problem on previous versions.

@Carlos would you please give an update of the bug status with current LibO 5.0.0.5 and 5.1.0.0 alpha?
Still getting the little "flash" issue on the same transitions: 2-3-4-5, 10-11-12-13-14-15 and 25-26-27-28. All associated with the "Fade Smoothly" Slide Transition effect. Also occurs with "Fade Through Black".

I just downloaded the latest .deb Version: 5.2.1.2 Build ID: 31dd62db80d4e60af04904455ec9c9219178d620 with this version it is even worse. Not only is the short pause in the animation still present, there is now an additional white flash over the whole screen at the beginning *and* end of the animation (if there is an animation in the slide transition; slides without a special transition still work fine, as they always did). Running on a Lenovo Thinkpad X220, Debian wheezy with backports from official debian and debian backports repo. Secondary display is connected to the VGA output. regards, Stephan
Still present in 5.3.0 alpha 1 on Windows 10 64bit and Lubuntu 16.04 64bit.
Confirmation of the bug: Version: 5.3.0.3 Build ID: 1:5.3.0~rc3-0ubuntu1~xenial1.1 CPU Threads: 2; OS Version: Linux 4.4; UI Render: default; VCL: gtk3; Layout Engine: new; Locale: nl-BE (en_GB.UTF-8); Calc: group OS: Linux Mint 18, XFCE4 Dual screen setup, presenter console enabled Easy to reproduce: - create a slide-show with some slides and some shapes on - add some slide transition to all slides - start the slide show - in presenter console, choose 'Slides' (Slide Overview) - transitions are working fine - in presenter console, choose 'Notes' (Notes View) - transitions are not working - in presenter console, unclick 'Notes' (Current Slide + Next Slide View) - transitions are not working Bart.
Test in earlier version gives some different result: Version: 5.1.4.2 Build ID: 1:5.1.4-0ubuntu1 CPU Threads: 2; OS Version: Linux 4.4; UI Render: default; Locale: nl-BE (en_US.UTF-8) OS: Ubuntu Studio 16.04.1 LTS, XFCE4 Dual screen setup, presenter console enabled In presenter console, any view, transitions are working, but: some 'flashes' occur. Bart.
In comment number 5 Stephan Weinberger is using the integrated intel drivers from the i5-2520. My laptop has a similar Intel integrated gpu (Intel i7-2620M). This has the same problems. However, when I tested it with the Nvidia graphics card in my laptop everything worked! https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=95479#c8 Recent changes to LibreOffice broke a lot of graphics related transitions. I am pretty sure that most of the remaining "flickering" "showing a previous slide" and "slide transition" bug reports -- there are at least 10 different ones! -- are all symptoms of this same basic problem. This is a regression. Previous older versions work fine. And the latest OpenOffice 4.2.1 also work fine on the same hardware. These symptoms can ALL be reliably and consistently shown if you use VirtualBox and install the VirtualBox Guest drivers. So if you are a dev where it "works fine for me" please please please try it under VirtualBox. You will right away see the problem.
