Description: Attached sample - NoBlink.ods. Both cells have been established with blinking text but the text will only blink if their names are deleted. Re-establishing their names expunges the blink Steps to Reproduce: With the attached file Satisfy yourself that all parameters are functionally correct for the inserted shapes Right click either object select name Delete the name Observe the object now blinks as commanded Undo or give the object a new name Observe the object no longer blinks If, it's not a bug then perhaps the help should be updated to inform users of the restrictions 2. 3. Actual Results: Non-blinking text within the shape Expected Results: Blinking text within the shape Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No OpenGL enabled: Yes Additional Info: Version: 7.2.4.1 (x64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 27d75539669ac387bb498e35313b970b7fe9c4f9 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19043; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: sv-SE (en_GB); UI: en-GB Calc: threaded

It also will not blink for a shape inserted into a writer document but I have no idea how to find the "name" field as it doesn't appear when right clicking the object
I'm a little confused. Reading the report Mike appended leaves me unsure whether the blinking shouldn't really exist in LO or just not in Writer.
Not sure if this is the right forum for making a Related suggestion. If the blink functionality is to be retained in CALC, would it be worth considering incorporating it into the style and conditional formatting protocols? I would certainly use it as a means of drawing attention to pre-defined circumstances affecting individual (or ranges of) cells and I imagine other users, if aware of the facility, would also find it appealing.

It does not only happen for "Blink" but for the other text-animations (Text_Marquee) too. It was OK in OOo3.2, it fails in AOO 4.1.6.
This commit was developed for another code base, and not merged by me. For complex changes like this, side-effects are to be expected; sadly I dont't have the cycles to deal with all the fallout. Un-Ccing myself for the while.
