Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 18782
Scroll between slides in edit mode
Last modified: 2003-09-11 10:48:17 UTC
When I am in Drawing view in Impress, I am unable to scroll between slides by rolling the mouse wheel. I think this is a serious user-interface handicap. I often like to roll between the slides to check their contents and the sequence of thoughts in neighboring slides while editing presentations. Scrolling between slides by rolling the mouse wheel is the most intuitive way to do this. In the current version, I have to do the following to move between slides during editing: Slide view -> select slide -> Drawing view -> Edit slide -> Slide view -> select next slide -> Drawing view -> Edit slide and so on. All these clicks hurt the chain of thought. It should be possible to use the mouse wheel to roll between slides while never leaving Drawing view.
I know I can move between slides using the page up and down arrows. But the mouse should be usable this way too. An example would be the way users can scroll through pdf files in Acrobat. When there is more content on he page, scrolling the mouse moves users within the page. When there is no more content on the page to scroll, the view moves to the next page. Impress should do the same with slides.
Reassigned to Bettina.
