Created attachment 68441 [details] text selection with blinking cursor When selecting text, there is a border around the selection that could be removed. It is unaesthetic and useless. Also, when the cursor blinks, it looks strange because of the border, making the border disappear.
Comment on attachment 68441 [details] text selection with blinking cursor (Fixed attachment MIME type.)
Definitely a valid enhancement request, therefore I set the Status of this report to NEW. (I can confirm the unnecessary border; tested with LibreOffice 3.6.4.1 on Mac OS X 10.6.8 (Intel). The border goes back to the days of OOo, and maybe is even older ... but this is not important for an enhancement request.) However, we should be aware that it is quite possible that *some* users like the border, and will complain if/when we remove it ;-) So, some discussion on the UX advise list seems advisable, before removing the border.
I think LO should use the default highlighting of the OS. Especially in OS X Calc, it is nearly impossible to determine which cells are selected.
