What's the output of

    gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.interface enable-animations

(and the corresponding entry in `~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini`) on your system? If you're using the default Ubuntu/GNOME session and that's `false`, I'd expect animations to be disabled.

If that doesn't work for you: What's the exact version info from "Help" -> "About LibreOffice" and what's your desktop environment?

( https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/disable-the-blinking-effect-for-the-frame-of-the-selected-element/124127 mentions `org.gnome.desktop.interface cursor-blink`, which is something else.)

Hi Michael,

after switching from x11 to wayland and the border is not blinking anymore.

Anyway, the output of gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.interface enable-animations is false.

The version is

Thanks for the additional details.

Does this mean it works as expected in a GNOME Wayland session, but not a GNOME X11 one?

If so: Just to be sure, what's the value of `gtk-enable-animations` in ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini ?

No problem. Yes, that's what I mean. Sorry, I don´t have that file settings you mention neither in gtk-3.0 folder nor in gtk-4.0 folder.
