Description Samuel Mehrbrodt (allotropia) 2016-01-14 07:13:47 UTC
1. Activate the "Modes Tab bar"
2. Switch to "Handout"
3. Switch to "Normal"

-> The Slide master view is opened instead of the normal view.

Hello Samuel,

Thank you for reporting the bug. I can confirm that the bug is present.

Libreoffice Version: 5.1.0.1
OS: Ubuntu 15.04

Not present in: LO 4.4.6.3
Comment 2 Óvári 2016-01-14 08:12:12 UTC
Blocks bug 95983.
Comment 3 Pedro 2016-06-23 13:53:25 UTC
Just noticed this bug under version 5.2.0.1 and it affects all 5.1 releases (tested back to 5.1.1.3) but it is not present in the 5.0 branch.
This is a regression.

Of course this begs to ask: why isn't there a Handout view? The Handout tab is actually showing the Handout Master. In the View menu there is no Handout view, only Handout Master

This is also related to bug #91827 (see comment #3 by Yousuf)

Same issue happens with the 'Display Mode' control in the toolbar.

What would you do with it? The use for Handout is to specify how to put multiple slides on a print page. IOW, it is a master page.
Comment 7 Yousuf Philips (jay) (retired) 2016-07-12 00:59:06 UTC
The correct fix for this issue is to hide the Handout Master tab in normal view and hide the Outline and Slide Sorter tabs when in master slide view, as mentioned in bug 91827 comment 3.
Comment 8 David Tardon 2016-07-12 07:38:34 UTC
Ah, you're working on this? I'll leave it to you then...

You are mistaken. Handout is a page you prepare to print and distribute to people watching your presentation (hence the name Handout)
There should be a Handout Master (where you design the Handout page and decide how many slides in each page) and a regular Handout where you would preview the actual handout page to be printed in large size (it has the same function as the Notes tab).

I believe a Handout tab is still useful in normal view (the preview in Print > Handout is too small)

Adding keyword 'bibisectRequest'.

With the fix to bug 115453 the Master Handout button was removed, but the resolution outlined in comment 7 isn't implemented, and the available tabs haven't been reorganized.

Comment 17 Pedro 2019-09-25 11:01:35 UTC
I can confirm this specific problem no longer occurs in version 6.2.7 not because it was fixed but because the Handout tab has been removed.

However if you click on the View menu and select Master Handout and then click on the other Tabs, it will still switch to Master mode.

Adding a Handout Tab and a Handout item to the View menu will be a step forward to fix this confusion.

Comment 19 Justin L 2022-02-10 11:32:55 UTC
So in LO 7.4, that would be turning on "Views tab bar" in the view menu.

Reducing to low/minor importance because of comment 17 and my own personal opinion that it isn't even worth my time to look into this.

Dear Samuel Mehrbrodt (allotropia),

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword


Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa

Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!

Warm Regards,
QA Team
