I am using Impress Version: 6.1.5.2, Build ID: 1:6.1.5-3+deb10u7.
I am seeing weird behavior in Impress which can be best explained with invisible animations, i.e. animations that exist but are not shown in the animation list and don’t have a visible effect during presentation.
What I did
- I created a couple of slides
- and added Fade In animation for the text fields.
- Then I copied all the slides and adjusted the animations (from “On Click” to “With Previous” and adjustments for Delays etc.).
- Finally I saved the file and opened it again.
What I observe
- Many of my animations on the text bodies were gone, i.e. the text was immediately visible in presentation mode.
- So I created the animations again. But when shifting them in the order, there seems to be an invisible element in the list which I have to pass. What do I mean with this:
I have animations A, B and C (in this order), and I want to shift C above B. To achieve this, I have to click “Move Up” twice. I can move B above A with another “Move Up”, so it is not a general problem. It is the same when moving it back down: I can move B below A with one “Move Down”, and need two more “Move Downs” to move B below C. There seems to be an invisible animation item in the list above C! - During presentation, I have to click once after the B animation, and one more time to start C. So this invisible animation seems to start On Click, but there is nothing that happens.
Can you help me? Is there a way to remove these invisible animations? Can you fix this bug?
Thanks and best regards,
Jonathan
