My version of Writer is 7.2.2.2 and I use kernel 5.10.78 on 64 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1.Change many time font 2.Switch window 3. I found this bug report on LibreOffice community, if it can help https://www.mail-archive.com/libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org/msg826218.html
Thank you for reporting and searching upstream :) I see it too. Same LO version. Plasma, Kernel 5.14.17-desktop-1, nvidia-current, Swedish locale Nice you found the upstream bug. Full bug https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=145419 Notable: "The whole thing is about popup and focus handling in Qt" Annd "It is true with 7.2.2 the problem does not arise until the second change of font or font size. To get the cursor back you can also click on the menu." - I can confirm both statements.

Let's close. Arch Linux 64-bit Version: 7.3.0.0.alpha1+ / LibreOffice Community Assigning our LO maintainer (who have a *lot* of other packages too)

I confirm the problem is fixed in 7.3.0RC1 / 7.3.0.1 rpm packages downloaded from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/download/?type=rpm-x86_64&version=7.3.0 First I uninstalled all Mageia LO packages (which also removed gnome-documents, unoconv, sushi) Filetype association broke, probably easy to fix but i personally don't care right now Fixed bugs: I did not find lists for Alpha0, nor Alpha1, versions they mention. https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Releases/7.3.0/Beta1 https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Releases/7.3.0/RC1 This bug 145419 is not listed, and probably the problem did never show on 7.3 Release plan: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleasePlan/7.3
WORKAROUND: Per https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29862#c14 and 15, removing libreoffice-kf5, and have libreoffice-gtk3 instead, makes this bug disappear. Maybe it would be good to put in mga8 errata?
Whiteboard: (none) => WORKAROUND
I have put the workarounds in a forum post, which also link here. https://forums.mageia.org/en/viewtopic.php?t=14453 Per Bug 29862 we will not try to fix this upstream problem with 7.2 series.
Status: NEW => RESOLVEDResolution: (none) => WONTFIX
To uninstall libreoffice-kf5 you have to have libreoffice-x11 installed. So: Make sure libreoffice-gtk3 and libreoffice-x11 are installed, then uninstall libreoffice-kf5. (all can be done in one go in drakrpm)
I realize this is an upstream bug, but it's one that makes LibreOffice-qt basically unusable. Hope this gets fixed soon either upstream or another way. How far do you have to downgrade LO to escape this? (I don't remember it in the 7.0 series.)
Upstream bug say 7.1 may be affected too. You can use 7.3 RC1 from upstream, see comment 5 I believe, not sure, we will update to 7.3 some time after it is released.
update to 7.3 requested in bug 29991
Fixed with Bug 30306 - New version of libreoffice: 7.3.2.2
