Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 110506
3D object interactions lost when upgrading Open Office
Last modified: 2017-05-20 11:08:33 UTC
The previous version of OOO 3.2 that I was using (I am not sure which build) had problems with 3D objects displaying and copying correctly, but I used them anyway. I assume some changes were made to the code handling these objects. A side effect of these assumed changes is that at least one of the object interactions that worked before no longer work. At least the "Go to page or object:xxx" interaction is broken.
Please attach a document to reproduce. Did you use the version 3.1.1 before?
Created attachment 68672 [details] 2 slides that should interact but do not
I am no longer sure what version I was using before. I thought and reported that it was 3.2. However, when I choose Start->All Programs I see an empty OpenOffice.org 3.1 folder that I used to use and a new OpenOffice.org 3.2 folder that has the newer version. I suggest it is safe to assume I was using 3.1 before. In the attached file, there are 2 slides out of about 100 that I had working interactions for. Each of the 3D triangular objects in the lower half represent buttons. Press one (in particular the yellow one) and a new slide should appear (in particular, the next slide.) The interaction that used to be there (Go to page or object SetupDsp) is no longer there. In addition, I cannot add a new one nor replace the one that should be there.
I cannot confirm this on Solaris x86. Interactions work well. Tested with OOO320_m14 and I cannot confirm this on Windows using OOo 3.2.0 release build provided by Sun
I am a little confused. I uninstalled the m12 build I was using and again downloaded the build provided by the OO.org website for Windows. The Help-About information confirms the build is m12 provided by Sun. The problem I have described is still present. ja indicates that the problem cannot be confirmed on Solaris x86, build m14. On the surface, it seems the test was done on a different operating system with a different build. Yet the comment also says the problem cannot be confirmed on Windows using the release build provided by Sun. Was the confirmation test performed using build m12 on Windows XP, or was it done on Solaris using build m14?
I can contribute additional information: To continue using my slides as I wish, I "uninstalled" 3.2 and reinstalled 3.1. Trying to open the file directly caused OO to crash and the recovery process did not work. Opening OO then opening the odp file allows me to see the slides but all interaction is missing. But at least now I can recreate the interactions whereas in 3.2 I could not do even that. This suggests to me there is something about storing the interactions in the file that is messed up.
I have loaded your file in version 2.11, 3.0., 3.1.1 and 3.2 and in none of them there is a target assigned. The interaction is assigned but without a target. I loaded the file in 3.1.1 again, assigned an interaction and saved it. Loading it in 3.2 and m75 shows me no interaction target. Additional the selection of the 3d object is not possible using the mouse. TAB helps to select it. @kerryober: is that why you could not assign an interaction?
Reassigned.
It is true that the file I sent you does not have any interactions. I believe this is true because 3.2 destroyed them. (But I may be wrong, see my previous comment.) I tried to add an interaction using 3.2 but could not. The purpose of the file was to provide a case where interactions that existed in 3.1 do not work in 3.2. Each of the 3D "buttons" in the main slide had a "Go to" interaction in 3.1. I only included the slide for the yellow button "Go to" in the file. I can provide others if you want/need. When I used 3.2 on the file I sent you I did not have any problems that I noticed using the mouse to select any of the 3D objects. I could select an object with a left click, open the object menu with a right click, select Interaction from the menu to display the interaction dialog, choose the "Go to object or page:" action, select a page from the list, and click OK. However, performing those actions did not create/store an interaction. I should make it clear that 2D interactions still work in 3.2 (I use some of those too) so the issue is 3D object related only.
this is a dupe I already fixed it some time ago. please check OOo 3.2.1 version
closing
I downloaded 3.2.1 from http://download.openoffice.org/ and installed it on my machine. The problem as described is still present. I notice that I do not even get the option to try to create an interaction in 3.2.1 as I could in 3.2 (which did not work) and in 3.1. From a user perspective this problem is getting worse, not better.
Reset assigne to the default "issues@openoffice.apache.org".
