"special key sequence" is not the same as "entering of normal characters", neither is "a special dragging" the same as scrolling.
Generally the problem occurs during normal editing. When I change the slides order in the left pannel, or when I switch between moving slides and normal editing in the main window.Unfortunately, I can't recreate that behavior. Whenever I try to trigger the problem, and do strangest operations in the left pannel (e.g. dropping one slide on another, dragging the group of slides etc.) nothing happens.
As soon as I start normal editing and focus on the work not on the GUI operations, the problem randomly occurs.If I detect it quickly enough, I can recover the slide with CTRL+Z. If I notice it after significant changes are done, the only workaround is to save the corrupted presentation in another file, then recover the original presentation with CTRL+Z, and finally merge them both.
