            Bug ID: 119144
           Summary: unsuitable field value appearance for "delay between
                    characters" setting in animation
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.2.0.0.alpha0+ Master
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Impress
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

File to test UI for animation

The text in the attached file has an animation "Appear" with setting "Word by
word". Open the advanced animation settings. You see a label "delay between
characters". The shown value is "34.567%" for me with German local with dot as
thousand separator.

But actually
*  the value is not a percent [percent of what should it be?]
*  the value is not "between characters" but "between words"
*  the value is written to file as PT00H00M00.34567S. That means it is in fact
0.34567 seconds.

Expected behavior:
The field acts as a metric field for decimal in unit 'seconds'.
The unit of the field is mentioned.
The label adapts to the chosen affect.

If you newly create such animation, the default value is "10%". That is
unsuitable, because it will result in a duration of 0.0001 seconds. The
complete animation will play nearly at once. The user will think, that the
animation does not work and he gets no information about the needed magnitude.
