Description Yousuf Philips (jay) (retired) 2016-04-27 20:14:28 UTC
Steps:
1) Open Impress
2) Insert a slide
3) Assign slide 1 to DNA in master pages sidebar tab
4) In the statusbar, change the slide master from DNA to Default
5) Select slide 2 and you cant set it to use the DNA slide master

To me, if i add a master slide to my presentation, it shouldnt be automatically removed from if none of the slides have it assigned.

Step 5 should also read "..from the status bar".
Also, after step 3, status bar for slide 1 reads Default even though it should read DNA.

Not necessarily, as you can set it in the master pages sidebar tab or in Slide > Slide Master Design.

Please add keyword 'needsUXEval' and CC 'libreoffice-ux-advise@lists.freedesktop.org' if input from UX is needed.

I think it would be worth it for UX team to consider this. I can imagine many users would on the contrary want extra data to not remain (bloat).

For testers: after step 3 I had to switch to a different slide and back before status bar updated.

Meanwhile we have the Master Pages sidebar tab with decks for "Used", "Recently", and "Available" master. That covers all use cases => WFM.
