Active cell not highlighted / bordered when OpenGL is disabled. Steps: 1. Open LibreOffice Calc. 2. Disable OpenGL. 3. Reopen LibreOffice Calc. The active cell is not marked at all. I have to rely on column and row highlighting to visually locate the active cell. If I enable OpenGL the active cell is marked but the whole UI breaks really bad to the point of unusability, so disabling OpenGL is the only way to go for me. Others are reporting the same thing, even if not explicitly with regard to OpenGL; hopefully these can be used to consider this bug confirmed: * Question 69375 in ask.libreoffice.org - https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/69375/calc-active-cell-not-highlighted-or-bordered/ Version: 5.1.2.2 Build ID: 1:5.1.2-0ubuntu1 CPU Threads: 2; OS Version: Linux 4.4; UI Render: default; Locale: en-IE (en_IE.UTF-8) This is the one with an answer that suggests OpenGL. * Question 61470 in ask.libreoffice.org - https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/61470/no-active-cell-borderfilldrag-handle/ I'm including this one because it's fairly recent and sounds like the same issue. * Question 66447 in ask.libreoffice.org - https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/66447/seeing-the-active-cell-in-calc-easily/

Attaching screenshot to show. By default openGL is off on my system and the cell as well as column and row are marked.

No repro 5.1.2.2, Ubuntu. For the test, could you rename your LibreOffice directory profile (see https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile) and give it a new try? Thank you
Considering that OpenGL makes a difference in my setup, I will try to gather information regarding video drivers and video cards. Joel, thank you for testing. Can you post your video card model and video driver? Raal, can you post your complete LibO version, your Ubuntu version, your video card model and video driver? Raal, also, I just tested on a clean profile (renamed all my .libreoffice-related directories and verified a new one still got created) and the problem persists. BTW, my version is: Version: 5.1.3.1 Build ID: 1:5.1.3~rc1-1, CPU Threads: 4; OS Version: Linux 4.5; UI Render: default Locale: en-US (en_US.utf8) OS: Debian Sid. Video card: 8086:0046 (lspci -n), Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) on Samsung R730 (as reported by lspci -v, really an R540) and using Intel i915 driver. I will try on two more computers in the course of the day and report back.
Could NOT reproduce on another machine.

No problem for me, but as you have some folks on Ask reproducing, let's set to NEW. You should invite them to CC themselves on the report. Version: 5.1.2.2 Build ID: 1:5.1.2-0ubuntu1 CPU Threads: 4; OS Version: Linux 4.4; UI Render: default; Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8)
Now it works for me! Thank you all for your cant-repro testing. This is what happened: After testing on another computer with i915 but working correctly, and also noticing other artifacts on the LibO Calc menus I suspected a driver issue on my system. I found that I was not using the X.org "intel" driver. I remember that during an upgrade, my system had problems with that package. The Debian package description suggested removing it and testing the modesetting+vesa+fbdev combo only, so I did. In two or three weeks no other programs caused any noticeable problems at all, not even LibreOffice Writer. I noticed now with Calc for whatever reason. So, I reinstalled the X.org "intel" driver again (this time it worked) and now the active cell is correctly marked / bordered. As for OpenGL, it still appears as "disabled" but works fine and there are no more artifacts on the Calc menus either. Hopefully this explanation helps others with the same problem. Conclusion: local system problem. Feel free to close this bug as you best consider. Thanks again.
Hi all, Installed the libreoffice 5 in LUBUNTU 16.04. Also I suffer from lack of the border on the active cell. I checked my systen as far as possible. I have a HP laptop Pavilion dv6000 cpu intel core 2 T5750 @ 2.00GHz Display type The X.Org Foundation version 1.18.3 As far as I understand from Octavio he solved his look a like problem to renem his display driver. This is a bridge to far for me to understand how to perform. My I asked a little help in order to renew my driver aswel? Kind regards in advance. ilioSS
Thanks - this solved my issue too - details below: I am using Libre Office 5.1.4.2 on Lubuntu 16.04. First confirm have an intel driver: $ lshw -C display WARNING: you should run this program as super-user. *-display:0 description: VGA compatible controller product: Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller vendor: Intel Corporation physical id: 2 bus info: pci@0000:00:02.0 version: 07 width: 64 bits clock: 33MHz capabilities: vga_controller bus_master cap_list rom configuration: driver=i915 latency=0 resources: irq:28 memory:e0000000-e03fffff memory:d0000000-dfffffff ioport:3110(size=8) *-display:1 UNCLAIMED description: Display controller product: Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller vendor: Intel Corporation physical id: 2.1 bus info: pci@0000:00:02.1 version: 07 width: 64 bits clock: 33MHz capabilities: bus_master cap_list configuration: latency=0 resources: memory:e2400000-e24fffff WARNING: output may be incomplete or inaccurate, you should run this program as super-user. Here you can see display is Intel and driver for display 0 is i915. I next looked at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/xenial/+package/xserver-xorg-video-intel to confirm this driver supports i915, which indeed it does, so then I installed this driver: sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel I then had to reboot for change to take effect. Now I have a border around active cell!
The workaround doesn't work for me. I have the driver currently installed. A related bug: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=104244
I confirm this issue on Ubuntu 16.10 for LibreOffice Calc 5.2.5.1 ...
(In reply to Abdellatif from comment #11) > I confirm this issue on Ubuntu 16.10 for LibreOffice Calc 5.2.5.1 ... Let's continue in bug 104244 as it seems appropriate for the ones who still have problems. I have to say that it is a real problem that these errors appear with modesetting as many distros are switching to it. Intel is failing to release a stable version of their driver, so it is painful for distros to package.
