Cursor becoming invisible after accepting a spell check suggestion

As you can see on the attached screencast, when accepting a spellcheck suggestion the cursor becomes invisible. It is still there, but you cannot see it until you click again on the document. 

This only happens with 5.2, previous versions do not have this problem.

Not reproducible for me with version 5.2.0 from Ubuntu PPA, with GTK3 plugin. But reproducible if I use the GTK2 plugin.

Thanks for checking. 

I use it on KDE 4.14, openSUSE 13.2 (I skipped 42.1 on purpose...). Not sure how to switch VCL plugins, though.

The choice is done through the following environment variable:
for GTK2 : export SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN="gtk"
for GTK3 : export SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN="gtk3"

Under Ubuntu, I set this environment variable in .bashrc and in .profile
It works only if both packages libreoffice-gtk and libreoffice-gtk3 are installed.

I cannot reproduce the problem on LibO 5.4.3.2. If someone else can confirm it's fixed, maybe we can close this issue.

Thank you for the feedback.
Not reproducible anymore with LO 6.0.0.0.alpha1+ with GTK2 under Ubuntu 16.04.

According to comment #5 and my own test, I close this bug report as WorksForMe. Please feel free to reopen if you disagree.

Best regards. JBF
