3 text cursors at the same time in textfields in a dialog box

This bug occur on all dialog boxes who have more than one textfields.

For example :
Calc > Format > Conditional format
Check "condition 1", "condition 2" and "condition 3"
Click successively on the 3 text fields

result : 3 text cursors in the same time ! (see attachement)

Are they all blinking, or are they static (i.e. no blinking)?
Comment 2 Kohei Yoshida 2011-04-19 17:18:55 UTC
Nevermind, they are all blinking.

Yes they are all blinking (not synchronized)
I've the same bug on Win7 64 and Ubuntu 10.10 on the same computer (core i5)
Comment 4 Kohei Yoshida 2011-04-19 17:53:18 UTC
Actually I should give this to bubli.  This is concerning the conditional formatting dialog.  Not sure the latest enhancement for lifting the 3 condition limit went into master only or 3.4...
Comment 5 Kohei Yoshida 2011-04-19 18:47:32 UTC
Actually, this is not limited to Calc; it happens in all dialogs with more than one text input fields.

I guess this is for Caolan?

I imagine it shouldn't be too hard to pull out the relevant fix with a bit of digging

Agreed - I'm seeing this in Impress on Win7 x64 when I click on a picture and then then Color dialogue where you can adjust R, G, B, Brightness, Contrast, Gamma.

It is pretty cool looking though to have 6 cursors blinking at once - perhaps it could be an option in the settings for those who like it?

Seems not yet integrated in 3.4Beta3, I still see the problem with multiple carets in Mail Merge E-Mail properties dialog.

yes, the fix missed beta3 by ~20 hours, unfortunately :(
