            Bug ID: 468943
           Summary: Cursor flickers while moving over selectable
                    paragraphs of text
    Classification: I don't know
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED

          Priority: NOR

A demo of frequently changing cursor

SUMMARY
***
NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug
symbols.
See
https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports
***


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Go to any application that lets you select text, e.g. Firefox or Info Center
(not an application like KWrite or LibreOffice Write, where the cursor does not
change for the entire duration that it is inside the textbox).
2. Try moving you cursor over any selectable paragraphs of text or between
lines of text.

OBSERVED RESULT
The cursor will change to the default cursor type whenever it's between two
lines of text, and then again change to the cursor that indicates selectable
text when it's hovering on top of the lines of text. This makes the cursor look
very jerky when it moves fast.

EXPECTED RESULT
The cursor stays unchanged for the entire duration that it is in the paragraph
of text.
