Bug ID: 144165 Summary: Highlight the current line in Writer? Product: LibreOffice Version: 7.3.0.0 alpha0+ Master Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: enhancement Priority: medium Component: Writer Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org Reporter: tor...@yahoo.com ● The Writer cursor is difficult to see in a pageful of text. ● After a search, the found string (It could a single character, like $, α or ©) can also be difficult to see in a pageful of text. All text editors (NotePad, NotePad++, PSPad, SciTE, …) have a currentLine —very convenient! Why not Writer? Because it's not just another ‘plain-text editor’? Because MSWord does not? (Does it? I don't know about that.) It should be easy to display the currentLine with a special, customizable combination fore|background colours which would, by-default, be the text colour pair, to please the users who like the current presentation —indistinguishable currentLine. The current character would have the text colour pair, automatically contrasted with the currentLine. In fact, there should be TWO currentLines; the 2nd one to track the mouse cursor, off if said cursor is out of the Writer window, indistinguishable if the user so chooses. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
