Bug ID: 465164
Summary: Wayland: Invisible cursor in Libreoffice with kf5 when
inserting geometric shapes etc.
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version: 5.26.90
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: wayland-generic
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: jan.rathm...@gmx.de
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
I'm not sure whether this is a bug in KDE or Libreoffice.
On wayland when running Libreoffice with kf5 backend under Plasma 5.26.90, the
mouse cursor in the main pane of the LO window becomes invisible when
performing certain "drawing" operations, like inserting a rectangle or a text
field.
This bug was present to that extend in previous Plasma versions that the cursor
has a wrong icon (something else like the usual cross hair), but stays visible.
The invisibility seems to be an additional regression in Plasma 5.26.90.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Boot into Plasma 5.26.90, Wayland session.
2. Run Libreoffice with kf5 support.
(I discovered it while using LO Draw, but e.g. LO Writer is also affected)
3. Try to insert a rectangle or some other shape, or a text field.
OBSERVED RESULT
After clicking the button of the thing you want to insert, the cursor becomes
invisible while being in the "main pane" of the LO window.
EXPECTED RESULT
When working correctly, the cursor stays visible and morphs into a cross hair
icon to indicate one can now draw something.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I can reproduce this on VirtualBox and real HW.
It does not happen on X11, and when running LO on Wayland with the generic
backend: SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gen libreoffice
I can reproduce it on: (with pristine user accounts)
* Kubuntu 22.10 + 5.27 beta PPA
* Neon unstable up-to-date installation
* neon-unstable-20230122-1118.iso live image (on real HW and Virtualbox)
(Unfortunately current neon unstable live image doesn't boot for me).
I can only partly reproduce it (cursor visible, but wrong, see above) on:
* Kubuntu 22.10 live image
* Neon user live image
Kind regards, Jan
