Bug ID: 148957
Summary: Animations on Libre 7 Impress slides noticeably blink,
badly distracting the audience. [EDITING]
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.2.5.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Impress
Assignee: [email protected]

Test-case .odp file (single slide) demonstrating animations that blink.
Background:
For years, I've used animation to successively disclose information on a slide.
As a typical example (see below), one call-out may appear (often using Wipe),
then a second call-out appear, and so on. Audiences like it.
CAPTION_1 o---------> [ ][ ][ ]
[ ][ ][ ] <--------o CAPTION_2
General Problem Description:
These techniques worked fine in Libre 4, and the Animation dialog (Alt-S-A)
was easy to get to, and use. In Libre 7, the same animations are buggy, and
the dialog is cumbersome and hard to read -- especially when you have 4 or 5
animations on one slide. The familiar shortcut key no longer functions.
Specific Bug:
As shown in the attached test case, when CAPTION 2 wipes, CAPTION 1's line
temporarily vanishes. To the audience, all the preceding captions BLINK off
and on again. It's very distracting and confusing, and defeats the purpose of
animating a presentation in the first place.
Also, if the call-out lines have features (ending circles or arrowheads),
these are displayed out-of-synch with the body of the line.
Humble Request:
Can Libre just discard version 7 animation and return to version 4???
