Description Pavel R 2012-08-27 15:17:13 UTC
Problem description: 
User interface does not allow changing effects on multiple custom animations. For example, if I want to make all my bullets to "Fly in" from right, I must select every bullet animation individually, then change its direction from default "From bottom" to "From right". If I select more than one animation, direction drop-down list and options button are disabled, even if all selected animations are of same type.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a slide with multiple points
2. Create custom animation for all points
3. Select more than one animation in the properties panel

Current behavior:
Everything below "Start" drop-down list (direction, effect options button, speed) is disabled. 

Expected behavior:
Allow to change animation properties, if all selected animations are of the same type.

Platform (if different from the browser): 
Windows XP & Linux (and probably all other).

in principle reproducible with LO 4.0.0.3 (Win7 Home, 64bit)

But the behavior is not consistent and needs more evaluation, because it does not work as expected.

Per the duplicate, the functionality of changing the animation effect itself should be enabled as well.

Reproducible in 6.1.2.1 on Ubuntu 16.04 (64-bit). It would be great to have this feature, as it seems to be something basic a user would expect to have, yet it is missing.
