GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 465480
No apparent way to flat review to Layouts area in OOo simpress
Last modified: 2008-04-08 20:50:19 UTC
This is with OOo-dev 2.3.0 (build #223) Linux RPMs on Ubuntu Gutsy (with all the latest updates and with Orca from SVN HEAD). I've been working through the simpress tutorial at: http://www.ischool.utexas.edu/technology/tutorials/office/impress/ I got as far as the instructions on: http://www.ischool.utexas.edu/technology/tutorials/office/impress/02_layout_text.html This section describes how to apply a layout; insert, format, and delete text; and insert and delete slides. To apply a layout to your new slide : * Scroll through the available layouts in the "Layouts" task pane on the right side of the Impress window. * Click on the layout you would like to apply to your slides. I seem to remember that I'd previously filed a bug against OOo simpress in that there was no apparent way to keyboard navigate to the layouts area, and the eventual reply was that you needed to use <mumble>-<mumble>-<mumble>. I can't remember what that was (I should look the bug up). Anyhoo, this time i thought I'd try to navigate there with Orca flat review mode. I've not been successful. I can get to the "View v" and "X" controls just above the area, but I've not been able to get into the actuals layouts area. Maybe others will have better luck. Filing it as a bug until I can investigate it further.
Created attachment 97025 [details] Sample ooimpress presentation. Here's a simple presentation that can be used to reproduce this problem. Using flat review, I'm unable to get to the Layouts area on the right hand side. Yesterday when I was trying this, I was getting traceback for IndexOutOfRange, but I don't seem able to reproduce that problem today.
This now works in OOO-dev 2.4 (RC6). Closing as FIXED. I'll let the OOo folks know too.
Ah, there is no OOo bug for this. Never mind.
