NullReferenceException when removing a shape that has animation

Aspose.Slides Product Family

Hello,

We are currently having a issue with the latest Aspose.Slides library (version 7.2.0.0) when removing a shape that has animation set to it.

Here are two code samples that reproduce the issue:

- Scenario 1: the PowerPoint document already contains a shape that has animation:

private static void Scenario1()
{
var presentation = new PresentationEx(“shapeWithAnimation.pptx”);
var slide = presentation.Slides[0];

slide.Shapes.RemoveAt(0);

presentation.Save(“shapeWithAnimation-2.pptx”, SaveFormat.Pptx);
}

- Scenario 2: the PowerPoint document contains a shape without animation; animation is added via code:

private static void Scenario2()
{
var presentation = new PresentationEx(“shapeWithoutAnimation.pptx”);
var slide = presentation.Slides[0];
var shape = slide.Shapes[0];

slide.Timeline.MainSequence.AddEffect(shape, EffectTypeEx.Fly, EffectSubtypeEx.Bottom, EffectTriggerTypeEx.OnClick);

slide.Shapes.Remove(shape);

presentation.Save(“shapeWithoutAnimation-2.pptx”, SaveFormat.Pptx);
}

In both cases the presentation.Save(…) call fails with the following exception:

System.NullReferenceException was unhandled
HResult=-2147467261
Message=Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

The expected result is that the Save operation should not fail and the saved object should not contain the removed shape.


Thank you,
