Hi Astron, UX guys, I've talked to an Impress power user recently, and he was complaining about the buttons in the slide sorter [the thing you can see on the attached screenshot]. This was actually not the first complaint I got, and also I remembered our discussions that we should do something about them, so I decided to just kill them for now: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=504d3ed897915bff3b3794dc3f069cb4fb528719 Slide duplication was not easily accessible after this, so I added it to the right-click menu: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=980c82bf423bcf89e17b0e45ffc4d946737b8d7b The rest (slide show start, hide slide) are already available easily - the former from a toolbar, the latter from right-click menu. Using that feels surprisingly well to me, and visually it is much less disturbing - I hope OK for you too? This all leads me to thinking that things that appear somewhere with a timeout after having placed the mouse pointer there are annoying in general [referencing there the header / footer too], so I wonder if we have any other occurrences of such behavior around? I'd probably kill it too, in case we do ;-) Thank you, Kendy
