Need help fixing fdo#38557

[Niklas Johansson]

Hi

No worries, it was my bad for failing to mention Impress in my original 
message. ;)

I've been stepping through the code a lot of times and well it seems to 
go over my head.

I found something interesting in the ViewShells [1] in the method 
UpdatePreview which is called from drviews3.cxx. The method only 
contains this comment.
// Do nothing.  After the actual preview has been removed,
// OutlineViewShell::UpdatePreview() is the place where something
// usefull is still done.

The method above would update the preview pages to the left I think so 
not exactly what I was aiming for. :(
