Can't reproduce using Ubuntu 12.10, LO 4.1.0.0.alpha0+ (Build ID: b1a4afa3b45d7b256eaf5aa88497b092f0139c8). You have a screenshot of good and bad behavior; what version/operation system you used for the good behavior? Maybe it's a regression on Windows. Thanks for filling this bug anyway!
(In reply to comment #3) > what version/operation > system you used for the good behavior? Maybe it's a regression on Windows. I can reproduce this bug for LibreOffice 3.6.4.3, OpenOffice 3.4.1 and LibreOffice 4.0.0.0 beta1 under both Windows XP SP3 and Windows Vista SP2. I also checked it for LibreOffice 3.5.2.2 under Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (see new screenshots). For better reproduction you can choose a bigger font size (like 14 or 18), since that way the cursor and the selection border will also get bigger. > You have a screenshot of good and bad behavior The screenshots were taken from the same version and the same system. The manifestation of the bug depends on the letters of the word the cursor traverses. During the selection process move the mouse cursor slowly over a word and you will see that while the text cursor "jumps" from letter to letter sometimes it overwrites the selection border and sometimes it doesn't.

Thanks for the extra information! I still can't confirm this bug with Mac OS X 10.8.2; Maybe Mac OSX handles the cursor a bit different then Ubuntu or Windows?

Does this mean you can confirm the bug for Windows and Linux now? If so I think the bug status could be shifted from "UNCONFIRMED" to "NEW". About Mac OSX I can't say anything, because I don't own a Mac system. Greetings, Santiago

No I was assuming that Mac OSX handles a cursor/selection a little bit different. But I'm now on Ubuntu 12.10 and can confirm it. So status to 'NEW' I lowered the importance to 'low', because this is a 'trivial' bug. There are more important bugs to crunch right now. But thanks for reporting anyways! Maybe a beginning developer will pick this up.

It makes LibreOffice look quite unpolished, just like the flickering-cursor bug (https://www.libreoffice.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=54871).

I do not why you see a problem here while the blinking cursor can't hide the selection borders because it is blinking. Closing as WorksForMe. Best regards. JBF
