[bugzilla]

--- Comment #7 from Artiom <art...@unity3d.com> ---
Reproduced successfully

OS: Mac OS X 10.9.5
OO Version: AOO411m6(Build:9775)  -  Rev. 1617669

Steps to reproduce:
1) Create new Presentation
2) Insert gif image (Insert / Picture / From file)
3) Insert any other element using Insert menu
4) Select both elements (gif image and element #2)
5) Right click on elements and select “Group”
6) Observe, that gif image is animated
6) Start presentation (Slide show / Slide Show)
7) See, that gif image isn’t animated

Follow-up tests:
1) Does the same happen with video file?
I have also imported a video file to see if it will play, when grouped with
other objects. When I tried grouping them the info message appeared - “This
function cannot be run with the selected objects”.

As far as there is a workaround and this bug is hard to fix (as mentioned in
the comment #4), the same functionality (“not supported” info message) can be
implemented for gifs.

2) Does the same happen in similar products?
I have performed the same test using Google Slides. Gifs are animated as
expected using Google docs

3) Is it a regression?
No. The same issue is reproducible using OO 3.x

4) Is it reproducible when exporting to HTML?
Yes, it is reproducible. In fact, exporting to HTML simply doesn’t show
animated gifs even if ungrouped, which sounds like another bug.

Attaching zipped folder with reproduction project and 2 gif files. To reproduce
using file simply open it and start presentation. You will see, that gifs
aren’t animated.
