            Bug ID: 142238
           Summary: VIEWING Presentation range influences slideshow
                    playback incorrectly
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 4.1.0.4 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Keywords: implementationError
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Impress

Example file from Impress

Attached example file has three slides and the second is set as the starting
point in the Slide Show Settings dialog.
This affects the Start from First Slide and Start from Current Slide commands:
- Start from First Slide starts the slideshow from the first slide as if
nothing happened
- Start from Current Slide starts the slideshow from the second slide as it is
set in the dialog.

This behavior is the opposite of what a naive user or a former PowerPoint user
would expect. 
It would be more natural if the Range setting would influence the  Start from
First Slide command.

Steps to reproduce:
    1. Open attached file
    2. Select the third slide in the Slides pane
    3. Slide Show - Start from First Slide 
    4. Select the third slide in the Slides pane
    5. Slide Show -  Start from Current Slide

Actual results:
Start from First Slide starts from the actual first slide.
Start from Current Slide starts from the second slide.

Expected results:
Start from First Slide should start from the second slide.
Start from Current Slide should start from the selected third slide.

This would emulate PowerPoints behavior, as in: 
starting from the current slide always means the selected slide, and 
starting from the first slide means the first or the one defined in the Slide
Show Settings dialog.

LibreOffice details:
Version: 7.2.0.0.alpha0+ (x64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 5d7251c7121cee8885fa9f2387c4a0625dd4ecee
CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 18363; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win
Locale: hu-HU (hu_HU); UI: en-US
Calc: CL

Also in 7.0, 6.0, 5.0, 4.1
In 4.0 there was only one Slide Show command to start the slideshow, which
started it from the currently selected one regardless of the Range setting.
