Created attachment 183431 [details] Document with which the bug was observed I'm using Version: 7.4.1.2 / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 40(Build:2) CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 5.19; UI render: default; VCL: qt5 (qfont+xcb) Locale: en-IL (en_IL); UI: en-US Debian package version: 1:7.4.1-1 to edit a document. Unfortunately, when I place the cursor on some of the paragraphs - it disappears. Editing works, but you don't see the cursor. In the whittled-down document I'm attaching I see this mostly on the last paragraph (which says חיפה, 6 בנובמבר 2022). When I had more content in the document, I saw it in other paragraphs, e.g. the one with אל תדאג אמר הדג.
Can reproduce with Version: 7.5.0.0.alpha1+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: a611f2fc149153aabea8948f74ee004944acf681 CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 6.0; UI render: default; VCL: qt5 (qfont+xcb) Locale: en-GB (en_GB.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded but not Version: 7.5.0.0.alpha1+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: a611f2fc149153aabea8948f74ee004944acf681 CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 6.0; UI render: default; VCL: qt5 (cairo+xcb) Locale: en-GB (en_GB.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded i.e. this appears to be specific to the qfont rendering code path that is not used by default with kf5.

Issues like this really highlight how important usability and visual clarity are, even in tools we rely on every day. When the cursor disappears, it disrupts workflow in the same way poor layout or typography can affect readability in digital https://magcorner.co.uk/ publishing—small visual glitches can have a big impact on the overall experience. Hopefully this helps narrow down the cause for a quick fix.
