Description Joel Madero 2015-05-06 15:20:04 UTC
Description:

1. Open writer;
2. Open gallery in sidebar (from what I can tell it's no longer available in toolbar)
3. Open file browser;
4. Find a folder with a picture inside;
5. Try to drag the image into the sidebar gallery

Expected: Image adds
Observed: Can't add image.


This is a regression - I've tried to bibisect and it's either not showing up in bibisect or it appears after the last commit in the bibisect package.


Ubuntu 15.04 x64
LibreOffice 4.4.2.2 release & LibreOffice 5 alpha0

Works fine for me. Yes gallery is only available in the sidebar as of 4.4.

Apparently this might be DE specific - I'm using Unity
Comment 3 Yousuf Philips (jay) (retired) 2015-05-06 16:32:04 UTC
Not reproducable for me on

Windows 7 - master TDF@39 2015-04-22
Linux Mint 17 Cinammon - master TDF@45 2015-04-22
Xubuntu 14.04 - master TDF@45 2015-03-15
Comment 4 Buovjaga 2015-05-06 16:39:49 UTC
Could reproduce on Ubuntu with 4.4.2, but not with any other tested versions.
Let's set to NEW and invite further testing.

Using Ubuntu with Unity.

Comment 5 Joel Madero 2015-05-06 16:52:06 UTC
@Bjoern - this apparently is only affecting Ubuntu running Unity DE - have any thoughts by chance?
Comment 6 Cor Nouws 2015-06-02 22:14:43 UTC
Hi Joel,

Works fine for me, Ubuntu 15.04 Unity 32 bits, 
Version: 4.4.3.2
Build ID: 88805f81e9fe61362df02b9941de8e38a9b5fd16
Locale: nl_NL

How is it for you in 4.4.3?
Comment 7 raal 2015-11-21 13:10:13 UTC
Reproducible with LO 5.0.2.2, Ubuntu 15.10, Unity 
and Version: 5.1.0.0.alpha1+

I should correct this statement as the gallery has been in the sidebar since 4.1, but only exclusively in the sidebar since 4.4, so it would be good to test 4.1 to 4.3 to see if this is a regression on the Unity desktop environment.

Would be useful to also test if this is a 64-bit only issue.
Comment 9 Joel Madero 2015-11-23 03:31:29 UTC
It's not at all a good use of time to test 64/32 bit - over years in QA (and thousands and thousands of bugs triaged) I think I've seen a total of 2 bugs that have depended on the architecture....

The other test is probably valid.

What is "DE" ? I'm using Unity too.
And 32 bits ... (have seen more than 2 issues where 32/64 bits matters..)

Desktop Environment.

Ah, DE set my mind thinking in direction of locales ( our neighbors :) )

So conclusion: no it is not related to Unity (sec at the least).

Comment 14 Buovjaga 2015-12-15 09:29:09 UTC
With the latest master, the problem is gone.

Now there is this little bug of the thumbnail not showing up: bug 96418

For testers, be careful about the drag'n'drop unintuitive workflow: https://help.libreoffice.org/Common/Adding_Graphics_to_the_Gallery

I confirmed the problem was still in 5.0.3 with Unity.

Adding keyword 'bibisectRequest'.
Comment 16 Buovjaga 2016-09-30 12:19:58 UTC
Heh, seems my last comment was confused (my steps involved inserting an image to the document).

Yet, the problem is gone: if I open Ubuntu file browser, I can drag images to the sidebar gallery.
