Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 2270
Failure in "Format Text" Animation Cycles
Last modified: 2017-05-20 10:55:35 UTC
Problem and how to reproduce it: 1) Create a blank presentation document with plain text somewhere on the doc. 2) Make sure border of text to animate is selected. From Tools menu, choose Text option. 3) Choose Text Animation tab. In effect drop down menu, choose blink. 4) Under Animation Cycles, deselect continuous. In the field to the right of continuous, enter 32768 and click OK. 5) Click Start Slide Show icon. Notice the text blinking continuously. 6) Press escape. Go to Tools menu, choose Text option. Choose Text Animation tab. 7) The number of Animation Cycles indicates 1. However, if the slide show is ever run, the text will blink continuously. (or at least many, many times) 8) This problem occurs with any number greater than 32768 Related Notes: a) The max number that the Animation cycles field can hold is 2,147,483,647. If the increment button is pressed, the number turns over to 1 and the text will only blink once. b) If a very large number is entered (9 repeated 10000 times) the numbers overlap and are illegible.
Bug is reproducible. The number for 'continous' should be saved and not fall back to one.
Hello Armin. The problem, that the changed counter for 'continous' is not saved, does no more occure in an actual version (641q1). But plaese have a look at the other points of this issue.
Related Note (b), about the illegible numbers does not seem to affect release 638c, only affects 638.
Original issue: Indeed, from 32768 and higher, the number is reset to 1. This seems to be a bug, don't know ATM, i'll have to take a look. To a,: That's wanted. When the maximum is reached the SpinField goes back to minimum. To b,: Could not reproduce. Whatever number bigger than 2.147.483.647 is entered is clipped to that value. Could not get numbers to overlap. When this happens again, this should be reported as a bug for the SpinFields -> base technology.
