Created attachment 178237 [details] Screenshot of 400%-scaled thin border with cursor When scaling spreadsheet, the cursor visibility becomes poor on bordered cells, because it has a fixed width, which soon becomes smaller than width of the border. See the screenshot of such a case. The cursor line width should be no smaller (possibly better a bit wider) than the visible size of the border.
Why not playing with a contrasting color?
@LeroyG contrast of highlight color is discussed here: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=145080 and will likely be fixed when macOS target is raised to macOS 10.14 Mojave since then Highlight Color will be correctly differentiated from System Accent Color.
My comment is only about macOS situation and slightly off-topic, sorry. This bug is valid as per screenshot, so setting to new. (wish we had an edit function in bugzilla)
Mike, isn't this fixed in 7.4 with Heiko's c32994e22ff291b0227ed74de6d0d050cf0901c8 for bug 143733 ? It works well with the default border thickness of 0.75 points. Or do you want it to adapt to any border thickness?
(In reply to Stéphane Guillou (stragu) from comment #4) It wouldn't fix it, only make less problematic - because it would only be problem on wider borders. > Or do you want it to adapt to any border thickness? Of course.
Thanks Mike. Bug 108240 contradicts what is requested here: it wants to never hide the border of the active cell. UX team, what do you think is the best solution here? (Anyone who tests, please use a recent master build as there has been various changes in that area between 7.4 and 7.6)
(In reply to Stéphane Guillou (stragu) from comment #6) Then ignore this, because the improvement mentioned in comment 4 is substantial, and possibly the rest is just nitpicking.
