Description: Currently (LO 6.2.5.2), it is tedious to work with animations other than the standard "Appear", because animations can be changed only one object at a time. If more than one object is chosen, then most fields in the Animation window are greyed out. (Only "Start" can be changed for several objects at once.) To change animation effect or properties of the effect, you have to do it one object at a time. It is suggested to add the possibility of choosing several objects and apply changes like choice of animation to all objects at the same time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create an Impress slide with more than one object, e.g. a bullet list with more than entry. 2. Open animation window: View > Animation 3. Choose more than one object and add animation (which will by default be "Appear") Actual Results: The "Category" and most other other fields in the Animation window are greyed out. To choose a different animation, e.g. "Box", you have to choose only one object in the list. Expected Results: "Category" and relevant other fields should be active, allowing changes to the animation of several objects at a time. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: A similar request is mentioned in the thread of bug 65331. Version used was LO 6.2.5.2, but has also been tested in 6.3.0.1 rc with similar results.

it makes sense to me. I just tried in MSO Impress and it's possible

Was actually a regression (see duplicate bug 102196). Repro in 5.2.0.0.alpha1, not in 5.1.6.2. Fix verified in 7.1.0.3.
