Created attachment 116497 [details] start of manuscript for new novel entitled Upon This Rock I am a professional author and have written my last five published novels using Writer. This is a new problem. After I wrote and saved the first chapter I closed the application. The next time I opened the document to begin writing again parts, but not all, of the document started BLINKING. I started by highlighting just those sections that were blinking. Then I went to FORMAT>CHARACTER> and removed either the check mark or box from the "blinking" box. When nothing was left blinking I saved the document and closed the application. When I reopened the document the same sections started blinking again. Then I highlighted the ENTIRE DOCUMENT, both those parts that were blinking and those that were not. I again went to FORMAT>CHARACTER and removed either the check mark or the black box from the "blinking" box. I again saved the document and closed the application. When I reopened the document the same sections were blinking. I do not want ANY BLINKING. What do I do?
Confirmed with v4.4.4.1 under window 7 x64. I see the blinking when saving to docx, but not when saving to odt or doc. So what you can do is to save in LO's native format, ODT.
On which LO version are you? FYI, last stable one is 4.4.3 Then, could you make a copy of your doc if it's not already done and for the test, try this: - Select all - Right click - Clear Direct formatting - save - reopen the doc For me, it seemed ok when I test with your file on LO Debian x86-64 with LO Debian package 4.4.4.1
Sorry I wasn't clear. I reproduced the problem but when I used "Clear direct formatting" on all the doc, saved in docx, then reopened, it was ok.
No, there is something wrong with blinking and docx. You can use clear formatting, save and the blinking is gone. But if you can reproduce it easily. New doc 1) Type some text. 2) Select All 3) Format > Character > Font Effects - Turn blinking on 4) Save to docx 5) Reload doc 6) Select All 7) Format > Character > Font Effects - Turn blinking off 8) Save to docx 9) Reload doc Now the blinking is on again. Tested with v4.4.4.1 under windows 7 x64 and v5.0.0.0 b3 under mint 17.1 x64.

Reproduced. Lowering severity as workaround exists: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/images/0/06/Prioritizing_Bugs_Flowchart.jpg Win 7 Pro 64-bit Version: 5.1.0.0.alpha1+ Build ID: d56b125f6c6c18ac40712cefc3cec06530750e15 TinderBox: Win-x86@39, Branch:master, Time: 2015-06-13_07:08:43 Locale: fi-FI (fi_FI)
On pc Debian x86-64 with master sources updated today, I could reproduce this. I noticed this on console: warn:legacy.osl:1421:1:sw/source/filter/ww8/wrtww8.cxx:660: Where is my ItemSet / pChpIter ? when testing with docx, setting or unsetting blink, then saved Miklos: thought you might be interested in this one.
For the steps in comment 4, if on step 2 you select one word instead of select all then after step 9 everything will be blinking.
Does not happen in 4.3.7.2. Original attachment does not blink.
Seems it started with v4.4.4.1. Can't reproduce it with earlier versions. Set as regression.
For my testing in comment 7 I forgot to mention that it was on 4.4.3.2. Windows Vista 64 Version: 4.4.3.2 Build ID: 88805f81e9fe61362df02b9941de8e38a9b5fd16
