Bug Description

Binary package hint: libreoffice

1) lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 11.04
Release: 11.04

2) apt-cache policy libreoffice-impress
libreoffice-impress:
  Installed: 1:3.3.2-1ubuntu5
  Candidate: 1:3.3.2-1ubuntu5
  Version table:
 *** 1:3.3.2-1ubuntu5 0

     1:3.3.2-1ubuntu4 0

3) What is expected to happen using Ubuntu 11.04, LibreOffice Impress via the Terminal:

cd ~/Desktop && wget https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/778293/+attachment/2115970/+files/EffectTest_1.odp && loimpress -nologo EffectTest_1.odp

click Slide 2 -> on the right under Tasks click Custom Animation -> secondary click Shape 1 -> primary click Effect Options... -> Timing tab -> notice Repeat combo box is 3 -> OK button -> F5 -> Space bar the diamond follows the custom animation path three times consecutively.

4) What happens instead is the custom animation follows the path only once.

Created attachment 41903
Impress presentation one cover slide one slide with Repeat bug illustrated twice.

In Impress, on a slide, if I give an object a custom animation path and set it to repeat it does not repeat when I run the presentation.
If I set an object to become partly transparent (it really should be called opacity because a high value gives just slight transparency but that is another - documentation(?) - bug not submitted yet) as long as I do not set it to <Repeat> it works but if I set it to <Repeat> the object just blinks once (hard to tell in those few microseconds if it actually does attain the transparency set)

Repeat as it would need to work here is without the ability of the current slideshow engine - I wonder if we should better remove the option from the UI.

I think that everything that does not work should at least be made unaccessible (grayed out) if not removed entirely.

If all functionality that was deficient were removed, that would make the Custom Animation dialogs quite scanty as very little does in fact work as a user could expect.

[This is an automated message.]
There are no new official OpenOffice.org releases in Ubuntu packaging anymore => Won't Fix

If the problem persists, please mark this bug as "also affects project Libreoffice" or "also affects distribution Libreoffice (Ubuntu)" if that has not happened already.

Please leave references to upstream OpenOffice.org bugs in place to allow cross pollination.

The only solution I have found is to use PowerPoint for presentations that
have more complex animations :-(
