Bug ID: 450617
Summary: Changing fonts within an app makes cursor disappear
and app won't accept input
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.24.1
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: slartibar...@gmail.com
CC: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk
Target Milestone: 1.0
Plasma 5.24.1, LibreOffice 7.2.5.2
use, for example the libreoffice suite (writer, calc,... it's not important)
Take LO calc, enter a cell, start typing
Now go into the symbol-bar of LO, chose another font.
If you are lucky, then you can continue typing.
If so, type something, chose another font, try to continue (repeat until the
error appears, take 2 or 3 different fonts)
In case of error, the cursor disappears and no further input is possible. The
app seems to hang (but isn't)
This does not really seem to be a bug in LO, because there is a simple (but
annoying) workaround:
Press alt-Tab to switch to another app, immediately press alt-Tab again to
switch back to LO.
Cursor is back again in its full glory, blinking as if nothing happened.
Continue typing in the new font.
Repeat chosing new fonts, and the error reappears...
I might be tempted to think this is a problem with font rendering and
refreshing of the current input??
