Help | About menu in "Notes" mode with a slide having an animated GIF

When writing notes to a slide (View | Notes) which has an animated GIF in it, the text being typed does not show up. It is in effect being written, but to see it I need to, for example, minimize and restore the window, or go to a different slide and then back again.

Similarly, when opening the menus, e.g. Help | About, I cannot see the menu entries.

Everything is normal, of course, with slides having no animated GIFs.

I tried to compress my .odp file to one with no confidential information, which resulted in the bug disappearing.

When I had a slide with an animated GIF and the assorted text objects and some image objects around, the bug was there. When I removed all objects except for the animated GIF, everything returned to normal.

I would not say the bug is closed, but I cannot disclose the original file and it would take me a lot of effort to try and reproduce it on a different presentation.
Comment 5 Buovjaga 2017-03-30 04:22:12 UTC
Ok, so the animated gif was a red herring. There is still nothing we can do until we get an example file, so this might as well stay in NEEDINFO. Reports in NEEDINFO will be closed after 7 months of inactivity, though.

Effect is also noticeable in Writer. The effect is similar to bug 94038.
