Description: Libre Calc does not display the typed entires in the active cell or the ledger above while I am entering the data. The cell contents are displayed after I hit Enter and the cursor moves to another cell. But that means I am typing blindly the entire time. It used to work until late summer, but I did not change anything in the computer and do not recall changes to Libre. I updated Libre to the latest 7.2.4.1, with no improvement. I am running MacOS 12.01, this problem occurred on earlier versions of MacOS as well. My hardware is a Mac Mini M1. Actual Results: I tried to type letters or numbers in the cell. None are displayed in the cell, or in the ledger above, until I hit Enter and move the cursor to another cell. Expected Results: I have to Enter the contents, which moves the cursor to another cell. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: It should show data as I type it. Libre Calc used to do that.
No issue here with Version: 7.2.5.1 (x64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 6d497ff5e83a906a307eb25cce314d40c0b8624f CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 21390; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: es-ES (es_ES); UI: en-US Calc: CL Please test with a clean profile, Menu/Help/Restart in Safe Mode
I just attempted that. (Thank you for telling me where the Safe Restart was located). I continued to see the same error while working on a file in Safe Mode. I also tried creating a new file in Safe Mode, it still failed to display the cell data I was typing until I moved the cursor to another cell.
Do you also see it in a daily build MacOSX-x86_64@tb81-TDF https://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/current.html
Please also test changing 'Graphic output' options in Menu/Edit/Preferences/LibreOffice/View (I think it so in Mac)
I could not reproduce it in ver: Version: 7.2.5.2 / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 499f9727c189e6ef3471021d6132d4c694f357e5 CPU threads: 12; OS: Mac OS X 10.15.7; UI render: default; VCL: osx Locale: en-GB (en_GB.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded Version: 7.4.0.0.alpha0+ / LibreOffice Community Build ID: b4a281af53efa0c36ee1770e6cf4d800be77a6d2 CPU threads: 12; OS: Mac OS X 10.15.7; UI render: default; VCL: osx Locale: en-GB (en_GB.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded
I am unable to run the daily build on my Mac. Mac OS prevents unsigned software from executing. I downloaded 7.2.5.2 for MacOS. It was easy to reproduce the problem. I restarted 7.2.5.2 in Safe Mode, no help. I check the Preferences on View, it only lets me choose whether I want Anti Aliasing, hardware accelartion is greyed out. (I am on a M1 Mac Mini) All left me with a missing cell contents until I went away from the cell.

Created attachment 177989 [details] screenshot of issue Every time, when I try to wrote something in cell, which have a margin-wrap text mode, i have a issue. Text disappears after reaching wide of cell, and more visual artefacts appears (content of previously typed cells on lines down under) or (joining adjacent cells under typed text) - that happens all time. It dissapears when cell is completed, but in-type that much frustrate.

Michael, can you still see the issue in a more recent version, like 7.4.5?
I just downloaded 7.4.5 This did not resolve the problem. I still remain unable to see what I typed until I move to another spreadsheet cell. mike
Perhaps some high contrast and/or accessibility setting, whether in LibreOffice or in the OS itself? What about some color theme? Perhaps in LO Options > LibreOffice > Application Colors ? Maybe there is some color combination that results in White-on-White (or equivalent)? After you finished introducing the cell's content, when you go back to put the focus on the same cell, do you see the content of the cell in the formula bar (e.g. formula or whatever)?
As soon as I move to another spreadsheet cell, the contents become visible in the original cell. And when I highlight that original cell, the entry is also visible in the formula bar above. I use the default black text color. I checked and did not find any Accessibility settings enabled, everything is on their default setting. I am running Libre 7.4.5.1 on a Mac Mini running macOS Ventura 13.1 There are no non-Libre applications that have similar invisible entries. However, Libre Text has a related problem. In that, I can see what I typed, but not what I have highlighted. mike
Can not reproduce Can you test in 7.5? Make sure to download the appropriate architecture (ARM/Intel) Does it occur with english fonts? Version: 7.5.1.2 (AARCH64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: fcbaee479e84c6cd81291587d2ee68cba099e129 CPU threads: 10; OS: Mac OS X 13.2.1; UI render: default; VCL: osx Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded
Wow, that worked! I am running macOS 13.2.1 I upgraded Libre to 7.5.1.2 and it was properly displaying the text as I entered it in Libre Calc. Thank you ever so much for solving this.
