Description Mibu 2013-08-08 14:51:12 UTC
Problem description: If I write a text and move in an almost written text the cursor from position a to b it occurs very often, that there is more then on text cursor at the same time on severel positions. I don't know, if this has something to do with the graphic card driver. I uninstalled the NVIDIA proprietary driver, but it's still the same strange behavior.
I'm using Fedora 19. This problem wasn't present in Fedora 18.

Steps to reproduce:
1. ....
2. ....
3. ....

Current behavior:

Expected behavior:

              
Operating System: Fedora
Version: 4.1.0.4 release

can you provide a screenshot of that?
Comment 2 Jean-Baptiste Faure 2013-09-14 10:44:07 UTC
Please, answer to comment #1

The current version of the 4.1 branch is now 4.1.1; could you update your installation and try again? You may want to test with the first RC of 4.1.2 too. It is available at http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/pre-releases/

It seems that the reporter is not interested in providing missing informations.
Closing as INVALID.

Comment 5 Mibu 2013-11-11 18:50:04 UTC
I added an attachement, a short screencast of the cursor bug. But the file was to large for bugzilla, that's why here is only a link:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/117872821/lo_writer_cursor-bug.ogv

I can say, that this bug exists -- for me -- one year now with various versions of LO and with various Linux distributions.
 
This is not a trivial bug, and if would be desirable, if he would disappear. (Maybe it's not a bug of LO itself, but a bug of the XServer, but he affects LO.)
 
Best regards!
 
P.S. A list, under which Linux distributions this bug occurs:
Ubuntu 12.10 with Gnome 3.6: present
Fedora 18 with Gnome 3.6: not present
Fedora 19 with Gnome 3.8: present
Linux Mint 15 with Cinnamon 1.8: not present
Ubuntu Gnome 13.10 with Gnome 3.8: present
Comment 6 tommy27 2013-11-11 19:23:08 UTC
I revert status back to UNCONFIRMED because of reporter's feedback
Comment 7 retired 2013-11-15 11:23:47 UTC
Hi Mibu,

have you tried the latest stable release of LO already? 4.1.3.2 that is currently: https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

Also from the video I don't see any wrong behavior. I only see one cursor at any given time.
