Slides do not reorder correctly

Open carolynlphillips opened this issue 8 years ago • 8 comments

When I drag slides left and right to reorder them a few things happen (1) The Your Slides window hangs (2) The slides do reorder, but not in "Your Slides", even if the kernel is restarted. In fact, if I flip through the slides, the orange box jumps around in "Your Slides". This means I cannot change the order a second time!

@carolynlphillips thanks again for the report, and for helping us build this boat as we sail it, as they say!

As we discussed, no problem if you can't share the notebook in question... but perhaps:

  • what other players might be involved? any other funky extensions that need to be considered for integration?
  • what browser/os/etc. are you seeing this on?
  • is anything going on in the javascript console?

If all else fails, perhaps we can jump on gitter and hammer out the step-by-step, see if it's reproducible... would really help build the test case.

I've wanted to get closer to the reveal model (#24, with "down" subslides, #42 as a maximized view), or just go for it and let authors make whatever kind of graph they want... either way, would probably want to use something for the heavy lifting like:

I am seeing this behavior on OSX/Chrome. I have livereveal and dashboard extensions installed too, fwiw.

Also, if I unlink and relink all the slides to cells in proper order, it seems to preserve some old slide order.

Edit: I started from scratch by editing the metadata to remove all references in the json to nbpresent. Then I rebuild the presentation linking as before. While adding slide 11, the order of the slides gets randomized!

Same observations here. If I start making slides in a fresh notebook, without manual reordering, the slide order in the editor gets quasi-randomized as soon as the 11th slide is added. The actual presentation order of the slides is still correct, but it makes any reordering from this point onward nearly impossible.

I also have this problem. I've added 10+ slides and am not able to rearrange them.

I also have the same problem, every browser on OS X, and with any number of slides greater than 4 or 5

Same issue here on OS X. Tested on chrome and safari.

Also having this problem. :( What a pity!

Also seeing this, or at least the order of the slides in the slide editor is not the same as the order of the slides as they appear in the actual presentation (which makes it impossible to do any further reordering).

Using OS X and chrome.
