Description: Missing text cursor in 'Ubuntu Xorg' session Is in the 'Ubuntu' session When entering text, there is no text entry point cursor. After switching the session type from 'Ubuntu Xorg' to 'Ubuntu' the cursor appeared. But there were also problems in other programs. How can I set up LibreOffice Writer so that the cursor also appears in an 'Ubuntu Xorg' session?

Can you please test if turning "Use hardware acceleration" off in "Tools > Options > LibreOffice > View > Graphics Output" helps? Thank you.

(In reply to Stéphane Guillou (stragu) from comment #3) > Can you please test if turning "Use hardware acceleration" off in "Tools > > Options > LibreOffice > View > Graphics Output" helps? > > Thank you. It did not help There is a cursor in the Wayland session There is no cursor in Xorg session
I just tested a Xorg session on Ubuntu 22.04 and still can't reproduce, the cursor is there and stays there. (Just like the Wayland session.) - Are other apps affected? - Make sure you test the latest version 7.5.7.1 - Can you please check again in safe mode with Help > Restart in Safe Mode? - Do you see the caret if you use the gen VCL plugin, with the following command? SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gen libreoffice7.5 --writer Thank you.

There was also bug 130339 about this same topic, so let's set to NEW (also due to AskUbuntu topic).
Dear tester user, To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present. If you have time, please do the following: Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/ If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice. If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice. Please DO NOT Update the version field Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker) Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not appropriate in this case) If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION.
