Well, considering that the version in Intrepid is the same version of
OpenOffice that's in Hardy, there doesn't seem much point in testing it
again... but I installed the packages from Intrepid and tested it
anyway.
I opened a presentation I made this summer, the one that caused me to
discover this behavior. The problem is still there. (It's the same
version of Impress; I don't see how it could be solved by Ubuntu
rebuilding the packages. Why am I asked to test over and over again
when nothing's been changed to address the problem?)
Maybe your presentation is too simple. Mine is a 200 MB ODP file
consisting of 23 slides, and most slides have multiple images.
Generating a thumbnail of a slide doesn't happen instantly.
Impress makes thumbnails for all the slides that can fit in the list of
slides, and then it stops. When I scroll down in the list, it starts
making thumbnails for slides that are now visible. It doesn't make a
thumbnail for a slide until you scroll the list so the slide is visible.
That's all there is to it. It's really that simple. The fix is simple
enough in theory: just make Impress generate thumbnails for the other
slides in a low-priority background thread.
(Soapbox: Yet again I am asked to test more packages, when it should
already be clear that nothing has been done to address the stated
problem. It takes enough time to file a bug report in the first place;
it's a waste of time for me to test packages that haven't changed
anything. Do you see what I mean?)
** Changed in: openoffice.org (Ubuntu)
Status: Incomplete => Confirmed
