The new 'fat cross' cursor for cell selection on a Calc sheet needs additional sizes of the cursor designed to support use at higher screen resolution of modern display. Its single 17px matrix is too small at HiDPI.
Don't see need for UX input. The cursors for high resolution are just missing.
But I wonder if this can be done until 7.2 or if we have to revert the patch / make it experimental somehow since it makes Calc hard to use under this environment.

Dear V Stuart Foote, 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 https://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://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone! Warm Regards, QA Team MassPing-UntouchedBug
Remains an issue Setting Calc to the Themed pointer (Tools -> Options -> Calc -> View "Pointer" 'Themed' radio button) gives the "FatCross" pointer icon that is too small on HiDPI displays. Version: 7.6.2.1 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 56f7684011345957bbf33a7ee678afaf4d2ba333 CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19045; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: en-US (en_US); UI: en-US Calc: threaded
(In reply to QA Administrators from comment #9) Remains an issue. If choosing to use an icon themed pointer for Calc (Tools -> Options -> LO Calc -> View "Visual Aids" radio button 'Themed' or 'System'), the cell selection icon is changed to use the "fatcross" pointer provided for each Icon theme. An SVG is provided for each at a 32 x 32 resolution, and PNG are prebuilt. As is a prebuilt CUR for use by Windows vcl. The SVG is adequate, but case can still be made that the 32 x 32 based design needs to be reworked for clarity on hi-res displays. Also as Mike K. suggests in https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=104169#c51 with demonstration in attachment 172318 [details] making the fatcross pointer transparent and adding a center "hair cross" for precise pointing. The current opaque fatcross can be a bit cumbersome to use, e.g. when attempting to position onto the cell's "Fill Handle" (where the os/DE system precision selection pointer will toggle active). So for hi-res and better useability in general, still need a 64 x 64, or 96 x 96 sized icon source that can be scaled by os/DE as needed.
