Bug Description

On Ubuntu 12.10 64 bit:

- create a new empty presentation with Impress
- create a bulleted list with a few items
- demote or promote an item by pressing the relative buttons in the toolbar, or using the the keyboard shortcuts (ALT+SHIFT+LEFT, ALT+SHIFT+RIGHT)

Expected behavior: the item gets promoted or demoted
What happens instead: nothing, the buttons in the toolbar appear disabled

Open the example document slide 2.

1) Click anywhere in the document.
Promote/demote buttons are not working (grayed out)

2) View Slide Master
- highlight all text in main window
- "Format, Bullets and Numbering"
- select Position tab
- highlight level 4
- set indent ".20" with "relative" checked
- click OK
Doesn't work: open same dialog again and you'll see it didn't stick;
indent remains a large number

Thanks !

Sorry for my boldness, but imho, this is the most basic functionality of a presentations application, and it does not work in LibreOffice 3.x nor 4.0.2.2

Is there at least a workaround?

I have ubuntu 12.4 32 bit

I can reproduce this on 4.0.2.2 on Ubuntu raring distro build and on master at 95c586d5c034115fd252c5fb0e4637bf9dc68a4d.

Note this is not related to a document, promote/demote seems to not work in general in Impress.

This slide is strange a bit, layout is "Blank Slide". When I choose e.g. layout "Title, Content" and copy the contents of the slide, promote/demote both work.

Is the inability to set the indent level (item (2) in my original post)
a different problem or related ??

Marco Lackovic, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. Consulting:
https://help.libreoffice.org/Impress/Shortcut_Keys_for_Impress
https://help.libreoffice.org/Common/General_Shortcut_Keys_in
http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/OOoAuthors_User_Manual/Impress_Guide/Keyboard_Shortcuts

no keyboard shortcuts were found for ALT+SHIFT+LEFT or ALT+SHIFT+RIGHT.

Despite this, it appears if clicks on the desired line and clicks Shift, it will indent the bullet, and Shift+Tab unindents. Does this work for you?

I noticed that when I create an 'empty' presentation, it already <em>imposes</em> the "Title slide" layout.
With these layouts, the first slide gets some weird properties, like not being able to move around the bullets in a list.
By move around I mean: using the promote/demote, move up/ move down buttons of the "Text Formatting" Toolbar.

Although, I also noticed, I can move around the bullets to some extent using the outline tab.

In the second slide things work as expected. I added the second slide using the slide panel and right clicking> New Slide.
The second slide <em>automagically</em> begets the "Title, content" layout.

Yet I'm still stumped by not getting an empty presentation, with empty layout!

Hope this helps.
