--- Comment #8 from Stéphane Guillou (stragu) <stephane.guillou at libreoffice.org> ---
You don't even need to have "hide after animation" on in the Effect Options to
reproduce this. Using an effect from the "Exit" category triggered by object
click is enough.
And the opposite problem also exists: if an object uses an Entrance effect, it
disappears instead at the end.

Generalising the issue:

Since b22e80f550338670dbe9cef9370ca97bbae3bd6d, an animation that is triggered
by clicking another object goes back to its initial state when the animation is
finished. This solved bug 88969 and allows repeating such animations without
switching slides, but it only works for users who actually want the object to
automatically go back to the start state (or for whom it does not matter
because the end state is the same as the initial state, i.e. a "cyclic"
animation). 

I'd call this an implementation error rather than a regression.

We should either:
- allow repeating the animation without the object always settling to its start
state; or
- make the fix for bug 88969 optional (but the dialog doesn't need more
complexity in my opinion)

UX/Design team, what do you think?
