Description: Version: 7.2.2.2 / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 20 (Build: 2) CPU threads: 2; OS: Linux 5.4; UI render: default; VCL: kf5 (cairo + xcb) Locale: de-DE (de_DE.UTF-8); UI: de-DE Ubuntu package version: 1: 7.2.2 ~ rc2-0ubuntu0.20.04.1 ~ lo1 Calc: threaded The writing cursor disappears Create text document. Write a short text and create a table. Write text in a field in the table. Highlight part of this text and change the font and / or size. The writing cursor can no longer be placed in the document and you can no longer write. Neither inside the table nor outside it. Briefly minimizing the program window eliminates the problem. This is an extremely annoying bug when you have to make extensive changes of this kind to the document. Steps to Reproduce: 1.Briefly minimizing the program window eliminates the problem. 2. 3. Actual Results: Writing possible. Expected Results: Writing possible Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: no information

I can't reproduce this, but someone I know reported the same issue Arch Linux 64-bit Version: 7.2.2.2 / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 20(Build:2) CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.14; UI render: default; VCL: kf5 (cairo+xcb) Locale: fi-FI (fi_FI.UTF-8); UI: fi-FI 7.2.2-1 Calc: threaded
Now I could reproduce it, one has to try more than once. There is no need to create a table. The problem seems to be that the toolbar or sidebar fields keep the focus, but actually the focus is not in a working state even in the fields. However, I can not reproduce this with an unstable build. I tested on two different machines. This only affects kf5 by the way, not gtk3 or gen. u.fuchs: could you test with a daily master build from: https://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/current.html I guess Linux-rpm_deb-x86_64@tb87-TDF-dbg is the easiest to just unpack and run.

FYI: my whole clusterfuck from bug 144585, which we reverted for 7.2.2, might be related. I guess 7.1.* might have similar problems. The whole thing is about popup and focus handling in Qt. I guess you both changed the font size via the combo box popup. We didn't revert the changes stemming from bug 144585 on master and there is now https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/124525 (and https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/124500) Note that the mentioned bug 145363 is not directly related to the first patch, but the 2nd depends on it. Modal handling in Qt clashing with LO modal expectations is definitely an other problem area since a long time, resulting in quite a few bugs over time.
I tested it with the daily master build. Version: 7.3.0.0.alpha1 + / LibreOffice Community Build ID: c6af59b234e8eb8182dc7f686290524feafd6ed6 CPU threads: 2; OS: Linux 5.4; UI render: default; VCL: kf5 (cairo + xcb) Locale: de-DE (de_DE.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded The problem does not arise here. It is true with 7.2.2 the problem does not arise until the second change of font or font size. To get the cursor back you can also click on the menu.

Let's close.

Version: LibreOffice 7.2.3.2 20(Build:2) VCL: kf5 (cairo + xcb) Locale: de-CH (de_CH.UTF-8); UI: de-CH Source: libreoffice-7.2.3.2-1.fc35.src.rpm Im able to reproduce this bug in 7.2.2 and 7.2.3 on fedora 35 boxes, only with kf5 as VCL and under X11. After changing font size or font a couple of times via the corresponding dropdown, the cursor disappears. This is fixable via various focus changes, e.g. by opening and closing a dialogue such as file open. If it was supposed to be fixed in 7.2.3, I'm afraid it is not.

No, the patches were not cherry picked to 7.2.x

What version will the fix be in? 7.3 seems to be quite far away (February, iirc) and this is the kind of bug that makes work very hard.
