Description Dennis Rice 2020-12-09 02:56:54 UTC
Description:
Please make the cursor more visible in all of the libreoffice apps.  It is very thin and hard to see when going back to edit a document.  Would appreciate it being thicker and maybe a different color.
Running 2.6.7.1 on Open Suse and 7.0.3 on Win 10.
Everything is running fine, just difficult seeing the cursor.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Just open a document and try to find the cursor.
2.
3.

Actual Results:
Is a visual issue.

Expected Results:
Desired issue is to be able to easily see the cursor.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
Make the cursor thicker so one can easily see it.

Sorry for the long time no response

Lets call this an accessibility topic for visually impaired, hoping this being a more persuasive context.

* So options the change boldness of the cursor?
* And if we start here: maybe the blinking? Remembering MarjE complaining about marching ants. As expected, same thing with cursor..
