             Bug #: 51964
           Summary: Custom animation speed is not preserved in copy or
                    save
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 3.5.2 release
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Presentation
        AssignedTo: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: davidjudysmith at gmail.com


When a line, shape, or picture is animated with Wipe effect (and others), if
the Direction is changed from "From bottom," any Speed changes will be lost
when the slide is copied or the presentation is saved.

To duplicate the problem:
1. In a new presentation, use the Polygon tool to draw a single horizontal line
in a blank slide.
2. With the line selected, open the Custom Animation region of the Tasks pane,
then click the Add button.  In the Custom Animation window, select Wipe on the
Entrance tab as the animation type, then choose Slow from the Speed dropdown
list.  Click OK.
3. Under Effect Wipe, change the Direction to "From left."  Verify that the
Speed is still Slow.
4. Click on the slide in the Slide Pane, press Ctrl-C, then press Ctrl-V to
copy it.  Click on the new slide.
5. In the Tasks pane, click on the line in the list under Effect Wipe.  Notice
that the Speed is now Very fast.  *ERROR*  (Back in the original slide, the
Speed is still Slow.)
6. Save the presentation, then close it.  Open it again.  Look at the animation
speed of the line in the first slide.  It has changed to Very fast.  *ERROR* 

Variations: 
The error also happens for directional effects other than Wipe, including Peek
In and Fly In.
The error also happens for shapes, for pictures, for text, and for grouped
objects.
The error also happens if the slide is duplicated (Insert > Duplicate Slide)
rather than copied.

The critical element seems to be that the direction is changed from its default
(From bottom).  When that happens, it seems that the speed is reset to Very
Fast, but that is not reflected in the UI.  As far as I can tell, there is no
way to "fix" the original slide, other than to close and reopen the
presentation.  The copied slide, on the other hand, can be fixed just by
changing the Speed to Slow.
