Description William Friedman 2024-11-15 18:59:53 UTC
Description:
When trying to select columns or rows using the mouse in Linux Mint, the cursor changes shape and points to the wrong place. This problem does not appear in the Windows version. I will attach two videos, one in Linux and one in Windows, to show the difference.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open LO in Linux.
2. Create a table.
3. Try to select rows or columns and see how the cursor points to the wrong place.

Actual Results:
Cursor points to wrong place.

Expected Results:
Cursor should point to the beginning of the row or column selected as in Windows.


Reproducible: Always

You stated that this issue does not happen in Windows, I can confirm I did not run into this issue in Windows in two versions.
