            Bug ID: 135856
           Summary: Cannot scroll large slide content or zoom in ouside
                    slide boundry
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.0.0.3 release
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Impress
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: mihai.vasiliu.93 at gmail.com

Description:
When using MS PowerPoint to create a slide which has items (shapes, textboxes
etc.) outside/beyond the slide area, the items are not reachable in LO Impress.
You can zoom out to see all content beyond the slide area, but you cannot zoom
in on the elements themselves if they are far off out of the slide area. The
same applies to scrolling.
In PowerPoint the vertical and horizontal scrollbars adjust automatically so
you can scroll however you like ouside the slide area if there are elements
outside, but in Impress the scrollbars have fixed lengths so you cannot reach
the elements far away.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the pptx presentation attached.
2. Follow the instructions on the slide => Try to follow the blue arrows to
reach the orange tear at the end by any means.
3. You can't reach it, but you can see it if you zoom out enough.

Actual Results:
The horizontal scroll bar does not resize to allow to scroll the work area to
the end of the last element. In this case to be able to see the orange tear.
You cannot reach all the elements on the work area without zooming very far
away. Even if you zoom, you cannot move the orange tear outside a predefined
area by LO Impress. Editing is limited to a specific area, but in PowerPoint it
is virtually infinite.

Expected Results:
The horizontal scrollbar should auto-resize to allow scrolling to the very last
element on the work area.
Zooming should be able to zoom in on any element.
Moving the elements should be allowes outside the Impress predefined area.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
This is very important for me as me and my colleagues have very large diagrams
on the slide that go beyond the slide area that we reposition each time we want
to show different things on the slide and hide the rest.
PowerPoint works fine with this. So LO Impress has to do this as well!
Thanks.
