I find the following transitions cause an immediate crash on application to a presentation under construction: Fade Smoothly Fade to Black Flipping Tiles Outside turning cube Fall Turn around Iris Turn down Rochade In general, I only tested one of each group of transitions. I assumed if (e.g.) Wipe Down worked, then probably all the other Wipe directions would be stable also. (OO 4.1 on Xubuntu 14.04) Other than Fade Smoothly, I cannot comment on stability when they are used in a Slide Show of an existing presentation. My expectation would be that such slide show might immediately crash. as happens when Fade Smoothly is used in an existing presentation. -- Rory O'Farrell <ofarr...@iol.ie> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org
