SUMMARY

	The clipboard context menu (created using Meta+V by default) doesn't display a cursor for some users.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

	1. Meta+V
	2. Type

OBSERVED RESULT

	The cursor is invisible for me inside the search bar except when selecting text inside the search bar.

EXPECTED RESULT

	The cursor should be visible inside the search bar.

Comment 1 John Veness 2023-11-24 10:07:50 UTC
I see the same here. Maybe related is that I also notice that I cannot press cursor left/right to modify what I've typed. E.g. if I type "abcefg" and realise I missed out "d", if I press cursor left three times (hoping that the invisible cursor would still move) then press "d", I get "abcefgd". I can, however, click with the mouse between "c" and "e" then press "d" to get "abcdefg".

Per https://discuss.kde.org/t/is-anyone-else-unable-to-see-the-cursor-in-the-clipboard-plasmoid-meta-v-menu-search-bar/7545/17, this is currently intentional because the search field rejects focus and therefore the insertion point doesn't become visible.

However either of those things could be changed, which would fix the bug.

Fixed by Fushan Wen in Plasma 6.2.0 with https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/merge_requests/4555.
