Cannot drag Impress slide to new position using the slide thumbnails pane

[rhimbo]

Libre Office 24.8.5.2
Fedora 41 Linux
AMD Ryzen processor x86_64

In Impress, I can move the slide via “right mouse click” → Move → “Slide Up” (or “Slide Down” for instance).

However, I cannot move a slide by dragging it in the slides thumbnail pane to the desired position.

When attempting to perform the drag to the desired position, I see the red circle with the diagonal line through it (the international ‘forbidden’ icon).

This drag feature worked for decades in Impress.

I think this is a bug, and I will file a bug at bugs . documentfoundation . org unless someone tells me that this is a ‘feature’ done intentionally.

Thanks in advance,

It works for me: I can drag a slide between two another slides.

Well, I just installed version 25.2.1.2 and it seems to work now (dragging the slide thumbnail). I am starting it from the Application Launcher. I haven’t yet found version 25.2 in my PATH. I need to do that.

And I’m now going to make sure I properly uninstall version 24.8.5.2, which is in /usr/bin (which is sym linked to /usr/lib64/libreoffice/).
