Description: Recently installed LibreOffice (v. 6.1.2.1) together with Zotero. Bug did not appear. The bug appeared most likely after Mac Software update (v. 10.14.1). Bug shows in every new document and seem to increase when document contains more text. When moving cursor over document, symbols, looking like this: '| ►' , appear and remain as a tail behind the cursor. Sometimes, parts of background show black. Symbols and black background disappear when cursor is moved around and document is scrolled up/down. A screen-capture is available. Actual Results: Nothing special, just moving the cursor around the document. Expected Results: Symbols appear, as described above. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info:
Created attachment 146413 [details] Screen capture showing the symbols appearing in the document.
@Robert : that symbol in your screenshot looks like the active/direct cursor option is enabled under Preferences > Writer > Formatting Aids > Direct Cursor Is this option activated on your system ? If it is, what happens when you turn off that option ?
I don't have Zotero installed, but I am on MacOS 10.14.1 and don't see the problem you are experiencing when I use LO6121.
Dear ‘daemon', Thank you for getting back. Besides the cursor and the black background, also number of spaces appeared... and LibreOffice crashed several times. However, it seems that turning off the option ‘direct cursor’ did the whole trick. So far, Libre office Writer is working stable again, as it used to do. A small detail (turning off the option) makes all the difference! I put status of the bug to "RESOLVED' but 'INVALID', as it might still be something to be fixed. Have a great day. Robert
