Blinking hourglass cursor is seen in bottom left corner during slideshow while using Presenter Console.
Thanks for bugreport Cursor appears in bottom left corner for small part of second. In my case almost unseen. May be in some cases it appears for long time.
Can reproduce with 3.6.4 on Linux x86-64. I agree that it is not a very good idea to always show the hourglass, even if the slide switch takes mere milliseconds. This can look rather unprofessional. Note that the hourglass symbol appears I would propose increasing the timeout until the hourglass symbol is shown to ~500 ms, to avoid unnecessary blinkery.
"Note that the hourglass symbol appears " should read... Note that the hourglass symbol appears always when in a presentation, not just when using the presenter console. (Sorry.)

Hi all, a step-by-step description of how to reproduce the issue is most helpful and will help to speed up the processing of this problem a lot. Also did anybody already try to confirm if this is still happening in LO 4.2b2? http://www.libreoffice.org/download/pre-releases/ Setting to NEEDINFO until more detail is provided. After providing the requested info, please reset this bug to NEW, since it's already been confirmed, but not tested against the latest LO pre-release.

Steps to reproduce: 1. Open a new presentation. 2. Apply some background color (not necessary -- it only makes the hourglass easier to observe) 3. Insert more slides. 4. Apply some transition effect - any... 5. Start the slideshow and watch the bottom left corner during transition. The bug was reproduced even on 3.6.4 in 2012 as Stefan Knorr mentioned above. It is still present in 4.2.5.
status NEW because of independent confirmations in comment 3 and comment 5
Hourglass really look bad. Can this be eliminated?
Version 4.3.7.2. The hourglass still appears. Is there really nothing that can be done to hide it?
@Dom thanks for confirmation with LibO 4.3.7.2 however you should not change the version field which has to indicate the "earliest version affected" not the latest. so I'm reverting it back to 3.6.4.3. also consider upgrading to LibO 4.4.3.2 since the 4.3.x branch will not receive any more updates.

The hourglass icon was inherited from OpenOffice. I hope they remove it so that I won't have to keep replacing it myself. How to fix it depends on what version of Openoffice/Libreoffice you are using. Look for a zip file in either your profile directory or where Libreoffice is installed named images.zip or image-something.zip. Look inside the zip for a png file inside named "waiticon.png" replace it with a same-sized 100% transparent png. e.g. For Libreoffice 5.2.0 on Ubuntu look in: /opt/libreoffice5.2/share/config/images_galaxy.zip replace file /sd/res/waiticon.png e.g. For LibreOffice 4.2.x on Windows 10 the zip file is in C:\Program Files (x86)\LibreOffice 4\share\config
Can this hourglass be eliminated by default. It is really not 'Impress'ive.
@Dom do not change version field that way. it has to reflect the first version a bug appeared, not the latest where it can be reproducible

Only difference it's not an hourglass anymore but is like an outlined square like this: ⌜ ⌝ ⌞ ⌟
