There's an animated image? I thought we had dropped that. On Linux I didn't see any animation.
Thanks for transferring my feedback (https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=137931#c66) into a stand-along bug. Opinion piece: not a fan of a gif in this dialog. Don't think it adds to the appearance of a professional or clean UI. Ongoing patch: https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/185271
