Dear Maintainer,

Since certain upgrade (maybe one year ago or so), the Impress silently
deletes slides during the edition.
I can't isolate the problem. Usually I notice it only after a longer
edition,
when I see, that my presentation contains less slides than it should
contain.
Probably certain user activity (a special dragging the slides in the left
pannel, or using a special key sequence?) causes Impress to delete a
slide without any warning or confirmation request.
I find this feature (or bug?!) extremely dangerous. Usually i have to
make a backup of my presentation before any serious edition. I have
irreversibly destroyed a few of my presentations by deleting random
slides, before I have discovered that behaviour.
It should be possible to switch an obligatory warning/confirmation request
before any deletion of a slide or group of slides.

With best regards,
Wojtek

thanks

Ehm, I don't think so.

Thhen we need more info.

Would you also file the same bug if people using vi would do 10000dd
or %y or so blindly in command mode and wondering whether 10000 lines or your
file contents are gone?

I'd consider it annoying if valid slide deletions would always need to
be deleted. Would you also do it in every cell in calc? In every word in
writer?

No, however if deletion occurs during normal edition (scrolling, entering of normal characters) it is obviously a reason to fill the bug report.
I'd prefer to be able to set it in the settings (preferences) menu.
Currently having my presentations corrupted in random way is much more annoying then confirming the deletions.

With best regards,
Wojtek

You yourself said:

"Probably certain user activity (a special dragging the slides in the
left
pannel, or using a special key sequence?) causes Impress to delete a
slide without any warning or confirmation request."

"special key sequence" is not the same as "entering of normal
characters", neither is "a special dragging" the same as scrolling.

Generally the problem occurs during normal editing. When I change the slides order in the left pannel, or when I switch between moving slides and normal editing in the main window.
Unfortunately, I can't recreate that behavior. Whenever I try to trigger the problem, and do strangest operations in the left pannel (e.g. dropping one slide on another, dragging the group of slides
etc.) nothing happens.
As soon as I start normal editing and focus on the work not on the GUI operations, the problem randomly occurs.
If I detect it quickly enough, I can recover the slide with CTRL+Z. If I notice it after significant changes are done, the only workaround is to save the corrupted presentation in another file, then
recover the original presentation with CTRL+Z, and finally merge them both.

Wojtek

I have somehow isolated the problem. It appears when somebody tries to rearrange the slides in the left pannel using the mouse with slightly worn left button, or with touchpad.
Certain combination of position of the dragged slide and left button clicks (e.g. caused by damaged left button) results in the immediate and silent deletion of the dragged slide.
