I am having an issue with LibreWriter 6.1.4. Whenever I hover my mouse of any the buttons in the toolbar, the hovered over button's outline starts flickering constantly until the button is click on with the left or right mouse button. I have tested the buttons out with OpenGL and hardware acceleration both on and off and the issue persists through both. I have also tried different GTK themes and the issue persists through all of them.

This issue seems to be similar to this issue posted a few years ago: Why are LibreOffice 5.2 menus flickering in Xubuntu 16.04?

I am using Kubuntu with KDE and a nVidia graphics card.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

  • Nvidia cards often need Nvidia proprietary drivers. Have you installed them?

I found a post on Reddit that mentioned this was a gtk-3 cursor theme size issue. Following the instructions in this post fixed the issue for me.

The post consists of the following commands:

grep '^[Settings' ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini

if that works:
echo "gtk-cursor-theme-size = 16" >> ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini

or just add the line manually:

vi ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini

I tried the accepted solution, with no luck. Turns out, my system input method was set to xim. Unsetting it and allowing it to default to ibus finally fixed it.
