                    UI/Editor

Example doc file from Word 2003

We have the Character – Font Effects – Blinking property on the Writer UI, but
it’s a dated feature, one that could be retired.

Word had in 2003 6 different types of character effects, while LO has a single
one. 
2010 no longer offers them on the UI, but in existing documents they do work.
In 2013 and newer they are ignored in existing documents too.

To be more consistent with newer Word versions and online trends (such as HTML5
deprecating the blink tag:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/blink )
I think we could do two things:
- Stop applying the blinking effect in the editor for existing files
- Remove the Character – Font Effects – Blinking checkbox

The export/import filter code and data model could be left alone, for
interoperability with older software, such as Word < 2013 and LO < 7.

Steps to reproduce:
1.      Open attached documents

Actual results:
Text has character level effects in Word < 2013 and in LO.

Expected results:
We should not show these blinking effects, only the text.
