I was nearly giving up and was thinking about running LO in a virtual machine. But after deleting the key with the command "defaults delete .GlobalPreferences.plist NSTextInsertionPointBlinkPeriodOff" in the folder "Preferences", LibreOffice finally behaves normally! Caret blinks as it should, text selection works and also screen refresh after zooming. All good now! Thanks a lot!!! -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
