Created attachment 122413 [details] Flashy Document First off, this my first bug report, so I don't really know what I should be writing this here. Please accept my apologies for a breach of protocol or missing information. I want to help and hope this is useful. The attached document flashes and redraws every two seconds. It is too distracting to to edit the document while it flashed list this. It is a formatting issue: If I copy and paste special (unformulated text) into a virgin document, the problem is gone. If the formatting is retained, the flashes are conveyed to the new document. Saving the file as .odt does not change anything. The "flashing" happens on both Mac and Windows LibreOffice, version 5.0.4.2. I have not tried older versions of the application or a Linux flavor of LO.
Just select the whole document (Ctrl+a) => right click => character... => font effects => uncheck "blinking". Didn't knew that a blinking font effect exists (me just remembers 90s websides with <blink> tags... I feel old). So someone just has to verify it also blinks with MS Office. Then I guess it's NOTABUG.
That bug should be fixed in v5.0.5, see bug 92045 You might wanna test the new version and see if it solves your problem. Do: Format > Character > Font Effects - Turn blinking off Then save to docx again. There shouldn't be any blinking afterwards.
