Description: The tooltip "List the existing macros and dialogs" flickers rapidly and annoyingly (my guess is at the refresh rate of the screen) when the Basic Macro Organizer dialog is overlaid over the Basic Macros dialog. As this is the default when the dialog is opened, it is particularly distracting and annoying. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start LibreOffice, open a Writer document. 2. Tools > Macros > Organize Macros > LibreOffice Basic 3. Click on the Organizer button Actual Results: As the mouse cursor moves over any of the libraries, the tooltip is displayed and it flickers annoyingly. The flicker disappears if the dialog window is moved outside of the Basic Macros dialog window Expected Results: The tooltip should not flicker.

I can also reproduce this behaviour in the Spelling and Grammar dialog, by opening the Options dialog window over the top of the Spelling and Grammar dialog. Changed title accordingly. Affects dialogs where the the sub-dialog is overlaid over the hierarchically superior dialog.

In addition to having 'extended tooltips' enabled you also need to have help installed. :D So i tested 5.0, which i have help installed for, and dont see the issue, so its possibly an osx only issue.

Dear Alex Thurgood, To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year. There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present. If you have time, please do the following: Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/ If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice. If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice. Please DO NOT Update the version field Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker) Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not appropriate in this case) If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so: 1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from http://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/ 2. Test your bug 3. Leave a comment with your results. 4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo'; 4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://kiwiirc.com/nextclient/irc.freenode.net/#libreoffice-qa Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone! Warm Regards, QA Team MassPing-UntouchedBug

This is also a problem on linux, so I took the liberty of revising the ticket from "MacOS" to "All". And on linux the effect is much more severe. The flicker is not just annoying, it's catastrophic. As the tool tips flickers in an apparent endless loop, the popup cannot be closed and the main window is frozen and non-responsive. The main window can't even be closed. The process must be killed from a terminal. This renders the oowriter GUI completely unusable. The only functionality that works is headless jobs using --headless. So if you just need to convert a Word doc to PDF, this is the workaround: $ libreoffice --headless --convert-to pdf "$msword_doc" --outdir "$output_dir" This tool chain has no issue: Debian Stretch + Xorg + LibreOffice This is broken: Debian Bullseye + Xorg + Wayland + Xwayland + Sway + LibreOffice 7.0.4
Fix for https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=148115by Jan-Marek Glogowski was verified yesterday. Unable to repoduce the flicking in Version: 7.4.0.0.alpha0+ / LibreOffice Community Build ID: a98971ac975e19efa2336b608506eefa85ce2485 CPU threads: 8; OS: Mac OS X 12.3.1; UI render: default; VCL: osx Locale: de-DE (en_DE.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded Setting to duplicate, although this bug is much older than the bug which was fixed and verified. With all the info in the other bug it is fair to assume that to be the "main" bug for this problem. Please re-test with todays nightly build to confirm my assumption. Kudos to Jan for addressing this very annoying and long-standing problem in LO. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 148115 ***
But note that tdf#148115 is for the qt5/qt6/kf5 VCL plugins on Linux only, and its fix only touches code specific to that, so it has no impact on macOS at all.
Good point. Are you still seeing the issue on macOS? If not, can you change this bug here to worksforme instead?

Created attachment 179526 [details] Screen capture displaying flickering tooltips
Confirming. What I find odd is that this does not affect all tooltips but only some. The flickering tooltips all seem to be in a dialog which is spawned from an open dialog. While tooltips on the first dialog show without flickering, the tooltips in the second level dialog are flickering.
