            Bug ID: 124507
           Summary: Impress: Changing paragraph indentation should update
                    animation type (on-click/with-previous)
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.1.0.3 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Impress
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: andthebrain at softfrog.ca

Steps:
1. Create an Impress presentation with a bulleted list.
2. Animate the bulleted list.
3. Right-click on any of the animations, select 'Timing...'
4. On 'Text Animation' tab, set 'Group Text' (to 'By 1st level paragraphs' for
example); press OK
5. Change indentation of some one of the paragraphs.

Desired:
- The animation type (on-click vs with-previous) should update to match the
setting for the text group.

Actual:
- The animation type does not change.


Notes:
- The "Group Text" setting is currently inferred from existing animations;
however, for this requested feature to work reliably the Group Text setting
must be set at Text Group creation (default to 1st level, like currently done),
and updated only when the user explicitly sets the value (vs implicitly updated
whenever the user updates the animation types individually).

- PowerPoint (.pptx) files store this setting as the 'bldLvl' attribute, on the
<p:bldP> tag, inside <b:bldLst> inside <p:timing> inside <p:sld> in the XML
file for each slide.

- Setting will need to be saved in .ODP file.

- Setting must still be inferred for old files which lack the setting.



If the "Group Text" setting is inferred, then we run into problems when there
is only one paragraph, or when the user manually changes one (or more)
animation's type. In either case the "Group Text" setting would change
unexpectedly for the user. Currently this is not an issue because the setting
only has an effect at the moment the user sets the value; however, this
proposed feature will change animation types during a user's normal work flow
and hence must not unexpectedly change the text grouping.
