Pesky vertical lines
Pesky vertical lines
I'm running LibreOffice 7.4.4.2 on a Windows 10 computer. Lately I find that when I move my cursor around on a document, it leaves a one-character-high vertical line in place wherever I was working. A search of this forum suggests that this is due to Track Changes (Record). But I haven't started Track Changes; just to be sure, I clicked on it, but that turns it on (which shows that it had been off before). Any thoughts?

Re: Pesky vertical lines
Is it a real line or a graphical glitch? Do the lines disappear when the document is scrolled?

Thanks for these replies. At first I thought the line was left whenever I clicked on a spot in the document, but now I'm noticing it happens only intermittently. I can't figure out the pattern, if there is one. And the lines don't disappear when I scroll, but they do disappear when the document is (re)saved - hence I'm not able to upload an example. Still pretty annoying, though. And it started happening about a week or so ago without my having made any changes to my system or to LibreOffice.

Can you grab a screen shot when one appears and upload that?

OK, see attached, which includes about half a dozen vertical lines in the one paragraph.

These lines may be a display aberration. Check with manufacturer's site that you have the latest display card drivers installed for your graphics card -don't rely on Windows to do it for you.

Yet it shows up only on LibreOffice - not on my browsers or email - and only when I'm actively working on a given document.

A wild guess - is it a SKIA related issue?

Just refreshing this in case anyone else may have an idea. The problem persists....

Re: Pesky vertical lines
"Refreshing" is not so refreshing when you show no response to the latest suggestions.
- Did you check for driver updates on manufacturer's site?
Cf. comment from RoryOF - Did you look into SKIA settings?
Cf. comment from robleyd. Restarting Office apps may be required to enable changes.
Re: Pesky vertical lines
It looks like for some reason the drawing of text caret isn't being done properly (edit: or cleared somehow).
You could look for other things which might redraw the window and so clear the residual lines - apart from saving - perhaps F9 which refreshes fields?

Re: Pesky vertical lines
I‘m experiencing this issue as well (only on MacOS). Seems to be related to Skia. If I disable Skia (or set ForceSkiaRaster=True), the lines are gone, but it becomes unusable slow and text selections are not shown anymore.
If I scroll the document a bit, the lines disappear, but still very annoying. Did anybody find a fix for this?
