Description aljaz.bozicko 2022-01-03 06:31:08 UTC
Description:
Hi. For some reason when I change paragraph stile that blinking thing that shows where I am in the document disappears and I can't type anymore where I was before or select any part of text. However, for some reason it reappears if I minimise and maximise LibreOffice document and the stile is changed as desirable. It gets quite annoying, but at least I don't have to restart the entire document.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. default stile
2. select with your mouse in paragraph stile selection tool and choose another stile

Actual Results:
blinking pointer disappears

Expected Results:
nothing strange should happen, it should just change to the selected stile


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
Using Kubuntu, mostly unmodified.
If you minimise and then maximise, the document problem fixes itself, so whatever that does is probably connected to the problem?

can confirm this behaviour, here on KDE Neon (user profile reset) - additional information: mouse reappears after clicking with the right mouse button.

Not reproducible for me with LO 7.3.1.0.0+ built at home under Ubuntu 20.04 with Gnome.
KDE only ?

I tested both from Sidebar and the toolbar dropdown, but the text cursor does not disappear. I am using the same UI as you, KDE. Can you test with 7.3 or 7.4?
