Product:Keynote Product Version:6.5.2 (2119)
Classification:Data Loss Reproducible:Always
 
Summary:
If a slide with presenter notes is arranged in Outline mode such that it becomes a bullet item on a slide instead of its own standalone slide, the presenter notes attached to the slide are lost.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a new presentation in "Navigator" view mode.
2. Add two slides, each with presenter notes.
3. Select "View" -> "Outline" to switch to Outline mode.
4. Click the second slide in the outline and press tab.
5. Press shift-tab to outdent back to the main level of the outline.

Expected Results:
The presenter notes for the item should be preserved.

Actual Results:
Presenter notes are lost.

Note that the same steps in "Navigator" mode do not lose data because the element is never converted to a list item.

It's too easy to lose data this way. The presenter notes should be stashed or something in case the user decides better. On a related note, I would prefer to have Outline mode keep everything as slides and let me manipulate the hierarchy similarly to how I would do so in slide Navigator mode.

Update I added to the bug just now:

Changed the title to "Data loss: Slides lose most of their data if nested in "Outline" view" to reflect the fact that it's not just presenter notes: e.g. images, and other rich content that doesn't neatly fit into the bullet-point style format will also be lost.
