Could you attach example presentation to allow others to check on different system/build? Created attachment 61765 [details]
Here is an example of a pptx with notes
Just wanted to add that I have regular PPT files where this does work correctly. These are all lecture documents from medical school. The uploaded pptx file is for reference purposes. Checked with: LOdev 3.5.3rc1+ Build ID: 51648779-22e3d74-d554af7 Windows 7 Professional SP1 64 bit I can't load the attached file in Impress. General error, input/output error. File works fine in Powerpoint 2010.

Huh, I just opened it LibreOffice 3.5.3.2 Build ID: 235ab8a-3802056-4a8fed3-2d66ea8-e241b80 Windows 7 Pro SP1 32bit Impress really doesn't like this professor's PowerPointX files at all, if you do get it open, it does that really ugly dithering thing on the whole page. I have 2 other ones from this same professor (all over 3000kb though) Okay, So I tested the same file in 3.5.3.2 under Kubuntu 12.04 The notes and slide seem to be up and to the left of the page. One had to scroll over. I will add the attachment screen shots. I tested the same file and same page under windows again, and there were some notes. Now the page I tested is better than others. Many of the other pages didn't always have the notes easily available either. I will also attach the screen shot of this. Joe Created attachment 61817 [details]

Silly workaround: Select all slides while under the note tab, apply the default layout. Works for slides without a lot of notes. Suggested possible UI enhancement idea, add a Notes panel for note taking, like in PowerPoint, in the Normal View.

General error, input/output error. > File works fine in Powerpoint 2010. Confirmed with: LO 3.6.3.1 Build ID: f8fce0b Windows 7 Professional SP1 64 bit Notes in upper-left corner with dithering overlay. NEW as bug reproduced. [Reproducible] with reporter's sample slide 2 and Server Installation of "LibreOffice 3.4.5 German UI [Build ID: OOO340m1 (Build:502)]" parallel Server installation on German WIN7 Home Premium (64bit) Steps how to reproduce: 1. Open newsample.pptx 2. Switch view to "Notes" tab, if necessary Sliede 1 will look as expected, top half of the white "sheet" shows the slide contents, bottom half shows the place holder for a note Slide 2 shows an empty white "sheet", you have to reduce zoom factor (to 10%) to see slide contents and note (?) outside white sheet area left from and above sheet area. You can move the sheet contents and will see that there is a note. LibO 3.4.1 rc1 does not show any contents in Notes view for slides with note LibO 3.3.3 crashes when I try to reproduce. I can't reproduce the problem with simple self created .pptx saved from LibO. How can we be sure that it's not a problem with the document? Works for me with parallel installation of Master "LOdev 4.0.0.0.alpha0+ - ENGLISH UI / German Locale [Build ID: a2b3ee)]" {tinderbox: @6, pull time 2012-11-13 06:07:28} on German WIN7 Home Premium (64bit) with separate /4 User Profile for Master Branch. I doubt that the fix can be backported to 3.6, please feel free to reopen this bug if you inf evidence that a backport will be possible. @Radek: What do you think? |
