+1 Proposed patch: https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/92875 Why do you want to hide the feature? It is not even deprecated in ODF and it belongs to our published API. (In reply to Regina Henschel from comment #6) > Why do you want to hide the feature? It is not even deprecated in ODF and it > belongs to our published API. Some time ago we got a user ticket and they complained about a bit of highlighted text in a docx that also flashed in Writer, but not in Word. Turns out it was some old template, which indeed had flashing property set. They were unaware of that, because Word already ignores this property - turns out since 2013. This, and its fate in HTML shows how relevant is this property in these days from user perspective. That's why I'd like to hide it. Discussed this idea in the ESC and hiding the UI is a reasonable step. The feature was probably introduced back in the 1990th when Starwriter was used as HTML editor. Gabor Kelemen committed a patch related to this issue. It has been pushed to "master": https://git.libreoffice.org/core/commit/1eb6210d678bbb0c875f0f72bd876a9e7795dfbe tdf#132373 Remove blinking character property from the UI/editor It will be available in 7.0.0. The patch should be included in the daily builds available at https://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/ in the next 24-48 hours. More information about daily builds can be found at: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Testing_Daily_Builds Affected users are encouraged to test the fix and report feedback. Hiding the feature disallows users to turn it off in existing documents? (In reply to Mike Kaganski from comment #10) > Hiding the feature disallows users to turn it off in existing documents? From the dialog yes, but the Remove Direct Formatting (Ctrl-M) button does the trick.

Even for glowing property defined at style level? ... and will that be documented then for users? s/glowing/blinking/ (was a thinko, sorry) Also doesn't "want to remove this blinking? Just drop every bit of formatting from here, and then try to figure how and what to restore" looks a bit ... strange? Please document this change in the 7.0 release notes thoroughly.
