Last modified: 2017-05-20 11:11:51 UTC
Hello, Just tested with OOo 3.3.0(buid 9478) and the issue seems to be exist. Here's how to reproduce: 1. Open Impress with a new or existing presentation. 2. From the Insert menu, select Table. 3. Add any number of rows and columns to the table. 4. select on any cell and right click on the cell and then select "Edit Style". 5. Instead of adding table in the Normal menu , select "Notes" tab and insert table ,right click on any of the cell and select "Edit Style" Effect observed: we are able to see the edit style pop menu when we are in "Notes Mode" but not in "Normal Menu".

Reproducible. But sometimes I cannot get the styles dialog in notes view either. It seems important to have a certain follow up of inserting a table and calling the dialog or calling it with already existing table.
Here is my update on this issue I did find this issue when i created a new table. Actually this dialog box appears in both modes but depends on the position of the cursor and selecting the point on the table before we right click and select the edit style option. If you are not getting the dialog box by the procedure mentioned above. Do follow these steps 1)Consider default size of table(2*5) 2)Don't click in the cell ( I mean there should not be any cursor seen in the cell but u have to select the table) 3) Now move your pointer to median line between the two rows you should see the the cursor changes now right click it. It appears.(Remember this happens only when i call from different context menu,see Screenshot for reference) 4) I did by selecting column median line and the dialog box appears too but you should be aware that you are not selecting(highlight) the cell. I did try adding rows and select the edit style option but failed to see the edit dialog box. This I have done selecting the cell.(i.e Cursor is in the Cell). Yes, I think there is a kind of inconsistency in the behavior of edit style dialog box. System Configuration Windows Vista, 4GB Ram , Intel Processor 2.40Ghz Open Office 3.3.0(DEV300_m70,build 9478)
