So the problem is the caret doesn't change its icon so we don't know we can make it bigger. Actually, it's possible to make it bigger but then, I couldn't make it smaller again. Which GTK3 it can always be resized Version: 6.2.0.0.alpha0+ Build ID: 3846561f79cf9065abd9ca83c9fbfbe7e52e28e2 CPU threads: 1; OS: Linux 4.13; UI render: default; VCL: kde5; TinderBox: Linux-rpm_deb-x86_64@86-TDF, Branch:master, Time: 2018-10-21_02:45:54 Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); Calc: threaded
Pro-tip: to expand Calc input line, click on the button with downward-pointing arrow (to the right from the line). To collapse it, click the same button again But yep, confirming it can't be resized by dragging the mouse

I can confirm the cursor is shown now with Version: 6.3.0.0.alpha0+ Build ID: 93f1c3665fcdc31c36078f179ac37fd69d3ebb00 CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 4.19; UI render: default; VCL: kde5; Locale: en-GB (en_GB.UTF-8); UI-Language: en-US Calc: threaded It's still not fun to use it with a debug build, since it crashes due to bug 119626, but that's another issue.
