Description: Some Chinese IME will make cursor disappear on Writer/Calc/Impress. When input some word roots, it will enter pre-edit mode, then press Spacebar and then ESC, cursor will disappear. But if you press "Save", it will show again. Please check attachments. I tested Cangjie input method（倉頡） on Windows 10 21H1, so it should be latest version, and it won't happen if switch IME to legacy version. These tests are on a fresh install, so I don't reset UserProfile. Some other users report that it will also happen on Chewing input method（注音） and Boshiamy input method（嘸蝦米）. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open Writer/Calc/Impress 2. Switch IME to Changjie/Chewing/Boshiamy input method 3. Input some word roots, then press Spacebar, it will show some candidate words 4. Press ESC Actual Results: cursor will disappear Expected Results: cursor shows in correct position Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: If you enter a full word like 你 when showing related words enabled, it will show some related words, press ESC, and cursor will also disappear.

Hi Po-Yen Huang, Thanks for reporting the bug. I can reproduce in Version: 7.3.0.0.alpha0+ (x86) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: ad1b12686da88bea57582df10fa85268ada209b8 CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19042; UI render: Skia/Vulkan; VCL: win Locale: en-GB (en_US); UI: en-US Calc: threaded For input method, I went to my language settings on Windows 10, installed the Chinese (Traditional, Taiwan) language pack, and changed my keyboard to "Microsoft ChangJie". In Writer, after I press ESC, the cursor completely disappears and I am unable to bring it back regardless of where I click on the document or program. My cursor is stuck on the "I" symbol and I am unable to click anywhere to type. I had to exit the application to resume typing capabilities. In Calc, after I press ESC and click on another cell, the cursor animation itself appears but when I start typing some word roots, I am unable to see these word roots on the screen. Essentially, I unable to see what I type. In Impress, similar to Calc, after I press ESC and click on another text box, the cursor animation itself appears but once I start typing some word roots, I am unable to see these word roots on the screen.
Probably same problem with Chinese Input Method Editor (IME), see bug 146890. Perhaps somebody can could test and confirm.
