Bug ID: 494215
Summary: Double caret
Classification: Applications
Product: ghostwriter
Version: 24.08.1
Platform: Manjaro
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: megan.con...@kdemail.net
Reporter: doctor.irratio...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
The textfield cursor has two carets.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Launch ghostwriter.
OBSERVED RESULT
The caret has two visual indicators, the intended blue caret and a pixel-wide
black bar. The blinking is not syncronized and the black caret has a slightly
shorter time interval between the blinks.
EXPECTED RESULT
Only one caret is visible.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Manjaro Xfce 4.18
Kernel: 6.1.111-1 MANJARO
KDE Plasma Version:
KDE Frameworks Version:
Qt Version: 5.15.15
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Cannot reproduce in ghostwriter 24.05.2. Beside that one, I only tested 24.08.0
and 24.08.1 (can reproduce in both), but not the versions in-between.
I use Xfce, not KDE. The second caret looks identical to the caret that I see
in system apps. So I suppose that's the default Xfce caret.
I don't know how to rate the severity. While it is arguably a petty issue, I
had to downgrade because of it. The caret is at the center of the user's
attention, and this bug makes the caret constantly morph between four states at
irregular intervals (no caret, one of the carets, both carets).
