Created attachment 124877 [details] a small test program showing the problem un Ubuntu Mate 16.04 During presentation with Impress, the program stalls at a certain slide, which seems to be specific to a 3-liner text block. This issue had been reported for previous versions [see https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=95300], it had been absent for a later version [Version: 5.1.2.2, Build-ID: 1:5.1.2-0ubuntu1, CPU-Threats: 8; BS-Version: Linux 4.4; UI-Render: Standard; Gebietsschema: de-DE (de_DE.UTF-8) running on Ubuntu-Mate 16.04] but is now back in the 5.2-alpha version [Version: 5.2.0.0.alpha1, Build ID: 902b28a39528b6c92602e9b521a1d0861be1caf9, CPU Threads: 8; OS Version: Linux 4.4; UI Render: default; Locale: de-DE (de_DE.UTF-8) ] I found it existed already on a alpha0 version [Version: 5.2.0.0.alpha0+, Build ID: 7b9a5e8124328da9d81aed58cf944c91560a7c07, CPU Threads: 8; OS Version: Linux 4.4; UI Render: default; TinderBox: Linux-rpm_deb-x86_64@70-TDF, Branch:master, Time: 2016-04-10_00:23:09, Locale: de-DE (de_DE.UTF-8)] Attached is a small impress file, which does show the problem: in presentation mode it only ahows the vertikal-line animation on the first slide. Further clicks or key presses show nothing until the end of the presentaition

I can't test 5.3.x versions, but here are new 5.2 and 5.1 results, the older version working, the newer one not: WORKING OK: on Desktop with: Libreoffice Version: 5.1.4.2, Build-ID: 1:5.1.4-0ubuntu1, CPU-Threads: 8; BS-Version: Linux 4.4; UI-Render: Standard; Gebietsschema: de-DE (de_DE.UTF-8) on Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS with kernel 4.4.0-36-generic #55-Ubuntu SMP Thu Aug 11 18:01:55 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux WORKING NOT(!)

Too difficult for me
(In reply to ullix from comment #7) > So, now I have the problem of downgrading on the laptop. Too difficult for me You don't have to downgrade it. You can just install the 5.1 version https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/ubuntu/libreoffice-5-1
Not true. After adding the ppa:libreoffice/libreoffice-5-1 to my repositories, I find the 5.1.x versions as older versions of the installed 5.2.x. When attempting to force installation of the 5.1.x version, I get "broken package" notices. It is the attempt of a downgrade, which - if possible at all - escapes me on how to achieve.
You already had 5.2 from the ppa? Maybe try this sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/ppa --remove sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get purge libreoffice* And then only add the 5-1 repo. You can also try parallel install https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Installing_in_parallel/Linux
Yes, by deleting everything it works. But then you also have to copy over your dictionaries and all other personal installations. Annoying. However, I did this and can now say that the 3-liner works correctly also on Libreoffice 5.1.5.2, Build-ID: 1:5.1.5~rc2-0ubuntu1~xenial1. Here the regression seems to come with the step to 5.2.x ! So this problem comes and goes between version 4.x and 5.x. Most recent is 5.1 good, and 5.2 bad. I tried to parallel-install 5.3 - but where is it? And as I have provided a very simple presentation, which shows this effect, it is still not possible to get debug info from LO to uncover the problem? Then, even if 5.3 worked again, this history shows that this bug comes and goes. A "good" 5.3. does not prevent 5.4 from being "bad" again, as long as the bug has not been identified.
The bug is in 5.3, like I mentioned in comment 6 You can get 5.3 from http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/?C=M;O=A
Oh, I thought it meant the opposite thing ;-) Good to see that I am no longer the only one to see this problem. I am willing to test, but my computer abilities are limited.
I just made the mistake of upgrading Libreoffice on Ubuntu Mate 16.04.2 The new version is now Version: 5.3.3.2, Build ID: 1:5.3.3~rc2-0ubuntu0.16.04.1~lo0 CPU Threads: 4; OS Version: Linux 4.4; UI Render: default; VCL: gtk2; Layout Engine: new; Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); Calc: group The error is back. Any fix of the past apparently was a fix just by chance; the problem was not solved. Don't you realize that due to this issue you can never be sure you can give a presentation? I wish this problem would be taken seriously.

There was no fix in the past, so I don't get what you are talking about. I thought to try and bibisect it, but unfortunately I cannot reproduce it in Ubuntu 16.04 with various 5.2-5.3 versions. I tried VCL backends gtk, gen, x11.. no problem. I still see the problem with Arch Linux, but I can't bibisect with Arch.
(In reply to Buovjaga from comment #15) > > There was no fix in the past, That is what I meant ;-) -- the bug just happens to be gone or not.

The bug is NOT present in this one: Version: 5.1.6.2 Build ID: 1:5.1.6~rc2-0ubuntu1~xenial3 CPU Threads: 8; OS Version: Linux 4.13; UI Render: default; Locale: en-US (de_DE.UTF-8); Calc: group The bug IS AGAIN present in this one: Version: 6.0.4.2 Build ID: 1:6.0.4~rc2-0ubuntu0.16.04.1 CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 4.13; UI render: default; VCL: gtk2; Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); Calc: group
This bug is also seen on Windows. I cannot bibisect it, because it is in all the bibisect repos, even in 5.1.x versions. However, I can verify that the bug is not seen in 3.5.0 on Win or 3.6.7 on Linux. Someone with working Linux bibisect repos has to analyse this.

In this moment I am preparing a presentation, and the bug presents itself in multiple occasions in this one presentation alone! Is nobody on the Libreoffice team ever giving a presentation? Why is a bug, that is demonstrated in a file of an incredibly simple 3 slides, and that is the killer of any presentation, not dealt with over the course of now over three years? Instead delving into various eye-candy development???? I now bought Win10, and will switch to it - I can't bear the embarrassment of failing during the middle of my talk because I use Linux. And here I am asked for my yearly renewal of the confirmation that the bug does still exist. Unless I see some development on this topic, I won't comment any more with this "the bug still exists" pointless routine. Libreoffice - for presentation use you are crap!

Instead delving into various eye-candy development???? You are deeply mistaken in your eye-candy claim. To get an idea of recent notable fixes, you can read the QA team monthly reports: https://qa.blog.documentfoundation.org/category/reports/ Moreover, any cursory browsing of the commit history will tell you that the vast majority of fixes are dealing with stuff that is "under the hood": https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/plugins/gitiles/core/+log/ > And here I am asked for my yearly renewal of the confirmation that the bug > does still exist. Unless I see some development on this topic, I won't > comment any more with this "the bug still exists" pointless routine. Again, you couldn't be more wrong with your claim about "pointless routine". The routine routinely results in 25% of the re-tested reports being discovered to be fixed. Anyone, you included, could try to bisect this bug and thus make it easier to fix. https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/Bibisect

Caolán on IRC solved the mystery: the problem is only seen, if Tools - Options - LibO - View: Use hardware acceleration is activated! So probably this is not a regression. At least it needs more investigation before we can call it that.
Blimey, I can confirm that it works correct on this install: on Ubuntu Mate 18.04.02 with LibreOffice: Version: 6.0.7.3 Build ID: 1:6.0.7-0ubuntu0.18.04.6 CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 4.18; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3; Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); Calc: group when I uncheck Tools - Options - LibO - View: Use hardware acceleration (can't check the other computer as that one is already on OpenOffice ...)
