SOLVED Re: Mouse pointer
Am 22.12.20 um 09:45 schrieb Wolfgang Engelmann: This is not directly lyx related. If I use the mouse in a lyx document the "I" like pointer is too small for me to see it immediately. This is true also for Mozilla Thunderbird: It is too small in the mail text, although it is ok (and shown as a thick enough arrow) outside the text. Coming back to the lyx document: Once I have clicked with the mouse a position, it is marked well (red and thick -forgot where I have set it in Lyx), but as soon as I am back in the text it is too thin. Does somebody know where I can change this to a better recognizable sign (perhaps coloured). I am using Debian 10.6 and I am getting older (eyes).

Can't you make it bigger or add an option or something? The mouse pointer is much bigger on most other apps. This is strange. As far as I understand, we just tell Qt "use a text pointer". I do not think that we have ways to be more specific. Can you try to use another Qt application and tell us whether the problem is the same? Are you using a HiDPI monitor? (retina, whatever) JMarc
