Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 49999
Transitions are very slow and do not respond to ESC key
Last modified: 2005-09-12 11:10:28 UTC
Imported a PowerPoint presentation that included transitions such as Box In and Venetian Blinds Vertical. The speed was set to fast but they ran very, very slowly and jerkily. Pressing ESC during a transition had no effect so I had to wait for the transition to complete. This is on up-to-date hardware (3.2GHz P4, 1Gb RAM, Radeon X600) but with no changes to Impress settings after installation.
hi rebeccayates, thank you for reporting this. actually 2.0beta is in terms of development builds rather old. please be so kind and retest with a current snapshot build and let us know if the problem remains. sorry about that :-( http://download.openoffice.org/680/index.html
Reassigned.
Created attachment 26741 [details] MS PowerPoint file demonstrating the slow transitions
This problem occurs in version 1.9.104. Attached a file to show the problem.
Please switch off the 'Use hardeware acceleration' in 'Tools/Options/StarOffice/View/Graphics output' and tell me if this speed up the presentation.
This occurs in OpenOffice (I don't have StarOffice). I tried changing the '3D View' settings under 'Tools/Options/OpenOffice/View' but none of these had any effect on the speed. I wondered if it might be caused by the OLE graphics which showed other display issues (issues 50111, 50113, 50114, 50115), but deleting the OLE graphics from two consecutive slides and adding normal text instead did not speed up the transitions to, from or between the slides.
@rebeccayates: cannot reproduce on my side. Is there a noticable difference, if you select one of the "Wipe (up|down|right|left)" effects from the slide transition task pane?
@rebeccayates: just saw that you're on a Radeon, maybe issue 48454 is related?
Please have a look.
@cgu: turning hardware acceleration down to "None" in the Troubleshooting tab (reached via Desktop->Display Properties) helps a lot on all transitions. It is still not as smooth or fast as I would like but much better. @thb: not sure if that issue is related as Impress has not crashed, even when I cycled through all the transitions (via the Task Pane) a few times in Normal view (this shows the same problem). My driver version was Catalyst v4.12, I just updated it to "CATALYST 5.3(v8.111)" but (with hardware acceleration back on) the problem still exists.
I checked with 2.0 (1.9.m122) German version WIN XP: [680m122(Build8941)] and can confirm the problem with Atlon 3200+, 1GB, READON 9600 Series (Driver: 6.14.10.6387 dated Sept. 12. 2003). Problem disappeard (more or less) after I set "hardware acceleration" to min in WIN System Administration. I also checked with 1.1.4 (German) WIN XP: [645m52 (Build 8824)], there 'problems.ppt' was shown without problems with min and max hardware acceleration.

Reported for ATI graphics card, and tweaking the display driver settings mostly cures the problem -> duplicate to issue 48454. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 48454 ***
And closing.
