General ⇒ \pause in beamer class

[carol]

Hi,
When I use \pause in beamer class between in itemized environment, instead of pausing, it just duplicates the frames or slides (see attached pdf). When I remove \pause, the frames (slides) are not duplicate any more. Where does the bug come from?

Code: Select all

\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage{beamerthemesplit}
\title{Example Presentation}
\author{Tim Clark (eclipse)}
\begin{document}
\frame{\titlepage}
\section[Outline]{}
\frame{\tableofcontents}
\section{Introduction}
\subsection{Overview of the Beamer Class}
\frame
{
\frametitle{Features of the Beamer Class}
\begin{itemize}
\item Normal LaTeX class.
\pause
\item Easy overlays.
\pause
\item No external programs needed.
\end{itemize}
}
\end{document}

Is your latex system and beamer package up to date? When I compiled your code, I got this (which is different from what you posted):

play.pdf

EDIT: A ha! I got your result when I compiled with LaTeX and then used dvipdfm, which is what you seem to be using. Can you just compile with pdflatex?

you're right. I compiled with pdflatex and now, it works.

thank you!
