Description Adriano Petrosillo 2022-02-07 12:12:48 UTC
Description:
This seems to be a regression. After updating to v. 7.25, animated GIFs in slides no longer display correctly and appear frozen to the first frame. They do appear correctly while editing, but they don't during presentations.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Include an animated GIF in a slide.
2. Display the slide as a presentation.

Actual Results:
The GIF is frozen.

Expected Results:
The GIF should be animated.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Example minimal

I reproduce the bug in 7.4+. Problem is that GIFs are grouped. 
"No longer" indicates it worked with some older Lo. Which one? I don't confirm that. So I mark "Inherited".

Bug is confirmed. I couldn't find some previous report.

Dear Adriano Petrosillo,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword
