Description matthew.sorrensen 2021-02-09 22:00:44 UTC 
Description:
Whenever I attempt to select text to cut/copy, there is no visual feedback as to what has been selected aside from the bar at the bottom of the screen "Select: x words, n characters". Pasting works as expected.

The text cursor also blinks at a fast rate

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open any document
2. Attempt to select text
3.

Actual Results:
Cursor would blink normally and text would be selected with a highlight showing what had been selected

Expected Results:
Visual feedback (highlighted text) of what had been selected.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes


OpenGL enabled: Yes

Additional Info:
I'm running macOS Big Sur 11.2 (was also present with 11.1).

I have just noticed that if a document is locked for editing and opens as read only (or manually set to read only) then the issue is no longer present.
Comment 2 Dieter 2021-03-03 20:12:23 UTC 
I can't confirm it with

Version: 7.1.1.2 (x64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: fe0b08f4af1bacafe4c7ecc87ce55bb426164676
CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19042; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win
Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI: en-GB
Calc: CL

Perhaps only an issue in MAC.
