gif blinks in Draw and Impress

I have previously posted incorrect bugreport 34821. I am sorry.
I have created my own gif, that indicated problem: gif blinks in Draw and Impress.
To correctly save this file in Gimp we need:
1. Save as animation
2. In properties "Placement of frame, if not indicated" we should select "One frame per layer (substitute)
(or something so, I have no english Gimp)

Please add a description on how you create the graphic in Draw or Impress. Thanks

Doh! it seems I understood the problem. Insert the attached gif file into Calc, Draw or Impress: the picture itself is blinking. This is not happening in Writer.

Radek, would that be a problem for you?

Next time it would be much better to attach directly a file containing the problematic gif image. That would ease the understanding of the bug report.

[Reproducible] with "LibreOffice 3.3.1  – WIN7  Home Premium  (64bit) German UI [OOO330m19 (build 8 / tag 3.3.1.2)]" 

Steps to reproduce:

0. save attached sample document on HDD

1. When you open attached gif with Irfan View, you will see a black square 
   with 2 white arrows
   - left one flickering app. 2 Hz
   - right one flickering app. 2 Hz

10. Open new LibO DRAWing
11. Menu 'Insert > Picture > From file' 
    Browse for sample gif drawing and insert
    expected: looks like described in step 1
    actual: right arrow missing, black square flickering

For comparison 
20.Open new LibO WRITER document
21. Menu 'Insert > Picture > From file' 
    Browse for sample gif drawing and insert
    expected: looks like described in step 1
    actual: as expected

You will see the same "complete image flickering" with Sample picture from 
Bug 34821 - corrupt output of gif animation

Same Problem with OOo 3.4-dev
Works Fine with OOo 1.1.4 

@sasha:
May I repeat Cédric's advice to read 
<http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport>
Your reports would be much more valuable if they would contain useful information.
If one of your reports has been closed because of missing information, there is no need to open a new report for the same problem. You should contribute required information and reopen the existing report (or even better: simply wait, someone will check that again and reopen the report if he is able to reproduce the problem).

I recommend to start reports with status UNCONFIRMED if if you are not absolutely sure that your problem will be reproducible and that you contributed all necessary information
