Double click the XXXX section in table (with comment) 3. press and hold a key (say a) -> notice the comment box flashing Actual Results: Flashing Expected Results: Not so Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: Found in Version: 7.3.0.0.alpha0+ (x64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: d5e55d204b71710eb5eb5d2c683dd6698626df3c CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 6.3 Build 9600; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: nl-NL (nl_NL); UI: en-US Calc: CL and in 7.0 and in - with OpenGL and GDI mode Version: 6.4.0.0.beta1+ (x64) Build ID: 20be5cd0bdc57d812bf34a2debfe48caa51de881 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 6.3 Build 9600; UI render: GL; VCL: win; Locale: nl-NL (nl_NL); UI-Language: en-US Calc: CL stable, with OpenGL Version: 6.3.0.0.alpha0+ Build ID: ba1e745b3d022856080c25167226e8a9eeadc911 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 6.3; UI render: GL; VCL: win; Locale: nl-NL (nl_NL); UI-Language: en-US Calc: CL text in comment box blinking with in GDI mode Version: 6.3.0.0.alpha0+ Build ID: ba1e745b3d022856080c25167226e8a9eeadc911 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 6.3; UI render: default; VCL: win; Locale: nl-NL (nl_NL); UI-Language: en-US Calc: CL blinking text also in Version: 6.0.6.0.0+ Build ID: c30963b8b4bbbe42a24b97aafa161eff9d7ccdd4 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 6.3; UI render: default; Locale: nl-NL (nl_NL); Calc: CL Skia uses the OpenGL code path (as far I'm aware). GDI known the blink. So focus in OpenGL.. [didn't try a Linux backend yet]
Created attachment 175224 [details] Example file
I confirm it with Version: 7.3.0.0.alpha0+ (x64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 7cd5b35caa8d4fa9d0ba2b2c6ce4b88726ed2be6 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19043; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI: en-GB Calc: CL but - to be honest - I've never seen a more trivial bug than this one.
(In reply to Dieter from comment #2) > but - to be honest - I've never seen a more trivial bug than this one. Depends on the perspective :-). Lets give add some background (narrative/ spin). Some people might struggle with this; like people with epilepsy, strobe and visual motion sensitivity. MarjE (marching ants) Also flashing might mean lots of paint refreshes; which causes high CPU load. It's actually 7% for basic table & a comment in it while holding the key Pick some lovely big document and like attachment 121138 [details] (there is table with comment on page 1)... and CPU hammering at 25%. It's smooth, so you can say well nothing bad.. But well if you're on battery this less joyful (battery drain). And next I jump topic the environmental dimensions. A lots energy wasted. If you look at the individual scale this maybe, nah. But if you take into account all users this probably adds up. [Yes, even software could/should have an eco-label]
