Yes, selecting the video to move to background doesn’t move it to background. 
While a video is inserted and send it backwards, then text should be added from 
the top of the inserted background video. But actually this does not happen. It 
stays on the backside of the inserted video. Here are the steps to reproduce 
the bug:

1. Create an OpenOffice Presentation.
2. Click Insert tab & select Movie and Sound.
3. Add a video by browsing the path.
4. Right click on video and select Arrange -> Send to Back (or Send Backward).
5. Try to write text on that video. 
The text will be written from the back of the video not from the top of 
background video. So I think selecting the video to move to background doesn’t 
move it to background.   

OpenOffice 3.0.1
OOO300m15 (Build: 9379)
OS: Windows Vista

Jeff Fuller (06-05-2009)

I was able to replicate this on OOo release 3.0.0 (OOO300m7) and on OOo release 
3.0.1 (OOO300m15), with both avi and mov files.  However, this bug does not 
show up in the most recent beta (OOo-dev 3.2.0 DEV300m49).  The text now shows 
on top of the video in normal view (if the Send to Back option has been chosen 
on the movie), but the text still does not show on top in the slideshow.

I am running OOO300m7 and DEV300m49 in Windows XP Pro 64-bit.  My system is a 
PC with an Intel Q6700 processor and 4 gb of memory.  For OOO300m15 and 
DEV300m49 I am running on a Toshiba U405-S2856, Intel P8400 processor with 3 gb 
of memory, in Windows Vista 32-bit.  DEV300m49 tested on both systems.

I successfully reproduced the issue on those computers:

1.  HP dc5800 / Intel Core 2 Duo 2,66GHz - 2GB Ram / Windows XP Pro - OOo 3.0.0
and OOo 3.1.0 [EN]
2. Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo / AMD Sempron - 512MB Ram / Windows Vista Home Basic -
OOo 3.1.0 [IT]
3. PowerBook G4 1,5 GHz / 512MB Ram / Linux Debian 5.0 (kernel 2.6.26) -  Gnome
2.22.3  - OOo 2.4 [IT]

with the following sequence of steps:
1-Create a new presentation with 5 slides:

    * first slide contains a video and a text box
    * second slide contains a video and a graphical object (a shape from the
draw toolbar).
    * third slide contains a video and an external image
    * a fourth slide contains a video and a 3x2 table.
    * a fifth slide containing only graphical objects (a shape, an image, a text
box and a table).

2- On each slide try to reverse the order of the objects sending backward the video.
3- Look at the thumbnail of the slide to check if the order is correctly changed
4- Start the slide show to see to check if the order is correctly changed.

The issue is present on OOo 2.4.1, 3.0.0 and 3.1.0 (latest build) and is
independent by the object type used. My tests exposed an interesting behavior :
the thumbnails on the left pane ARE CORRECT !!!! The objects are shown in the
expected position, while in normal view and during slide show are incorrect.

I attach a screen capture showing the objects are correctly ordered in thumbnails.

Created attachment 62978 [details]
Impress presentation, showing that in thumbnails the desired order is respected (slide 1 and 2), while in editing mode it isn't.

Reproducible. Reassigned. 

as long as we use the system video player to play videos in a system window, we
will have videos only play above the documents contents. Adapting priority

Reset assigne to the default "issues@openoffice.apache.org".
