Thank you Scott!
Found LyX-2.4.0~beta5+qt5-x86_64-arm64-cocoa.dmg in France.
Did the trick. No cursor problems at all.
Now *very* happy.

I’m near the point that I have to abandon LyX after using it

The problem is that as a paragraph gets longer, the cursor gets
slower. The
paragraph doesn’t have to be very long (e.g. a few sentences) for
this to be
a significant issue. A single paragraph of plain text could be the
only
thing in the document.
Thanks to those who have helped previously but still no progress.
Scouring
forums, I see others with similar problems but no obviously pertinent
solutions.
Many, many thanks for any further advice.
What I have tried:
1. Full reinstall including deleting prior LyX-2.3 folder in
Application\
Support
2. Reconfiguring
3. Adding to preferences \force_paint_single_char false
That sounds like a very frustrating experience.
Have you tried a pre-release of 2.4.0? I forget if you've already
tried
it. It might make things a bit better, and the final release of 2.4.0
is
not too far away.
Best,
Scott
