[Libreoffice-bugs] [Bug 100706] Cannot Stop Blinking Cursor in OS X
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=100706 --- Comment #5 from steve -_- --- not mouse cursor but text cursor. aha, adjusting title. blinking text cursor is default iirc. why change that? and when changing system wide setting, where is that done? I tend to think, this enhancement request will never happen to be honest. there's a ton of more important macOS specific chances to be done first. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=100706 --- Comment #4 from MarjaE --- How do you *not* get a blinking cursor in OS X? Apple's webkit rendering makes cursors blink, without allowing users to change the blink rate. (LibreOffice, Pages, Safari, etc. use this.) Apple's nstext rendering makes cursors blink by default, but allows users to change the blink rate using command-line settings. (NeoOffice, Textedit, etc. seem to use this. NeoOffice uses the older version of the blink rate settings.) I switched to NeoOffice to escape the accursed thing. Now I can work without disorientation, trouble seeing what I'm working on, migraines, etc. It would probably be too much trouble to switch LibreOffice to nstext. It might be easier to use wewbkit with its own blink rate settings, like Firefox does, but I am not a programmer. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=100706 --- Comment #3 from steve -_- --- How do you get a blinking cursor? This is unclear from your description. Is that intended behavior or a macOS bug? I never saw a blinking cursor on macOS. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=100706 --- Comment #2 from MarjaE --- The NSText fix *only* works in NSText. I think OS X/MacOS may use Webkit to render LibreOffice. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=100706 Alex Thurgood changed: What|Removed |Added Status|UNCONFIRMED |NEW Ever confirmed|0 |1 --- Comment #1 from Alex Thurgood --- For any devs interested, see : https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6720434?start=0&tstart=0 in particular : "Also note that this will only work for applications and text fields that are coded with Apple’s text view coding objects, so programs that use alternative text handling routines may not show a difference in blink rate." The basic commands for system settings can be found here : http://www.macissues.com/2014/12/08/how-to-change-your-macs-text-cursor-blink-rate/ Examples : defaults write -g NSTextInsertionPointBlinkPeriodOn -float 200 defaults write -g NSTextInsertionPointBlinkPeriodOff -float 200 Note that many apps do not respond to these settings, e.g. Safari and MSOffice are reported as being unaffected. Confirming enhancement request, but don't expect any changes soon as this would appear to require touching fundamental parts of the text rendering engine. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs
